About

I’m Mailin! 

I’m a wildlife painter based out of Denver, Colorado. I was born, however, in the woody wetlands of New Jersey for which the Garden State moniker came to be. I’ve had a fascination with animals since as long as I can remember–the other creatures with which we share this spinning orb. 

I paint primarily in oils and acrylic, and although my style can best be described as contemporary realism, I like to occasionally incorporate abstract elements into my work.  Each painting I create means something different to me, but ultimately I hope each work provokes a simple connection to nature or a moment of wildness for you, the viewers.

I’ve been fortunate enough to sell my work to collectors throughout North America and participate in shows throughout the Southwest. In 2022 I was awarded the Art District on Santa Fe’s Emerging Artist Residency, but you can currently find me working at my home studio in the Cap Hill neighborhood with my partner and my cat.
