Art for the soul and those place you love

Let’s find your art peace.

Hola! Soy Mile (Meelay)

Artist, explorer of woods & designer.

I’m deeply inspired by nature—its comfort, healing energy, and impressive beauty.

Art can transform you and the space you inhabit.

Feel at home, breath, and take it all in! Scroll down as if walking on an expedition to an undiscovered valley. I invite you to observe the gentle light, the stubborn contrasts, and the illusive perspectives. Find your peace!

My art is a reflection of my deepest, most authentic self.

It is inspired by memories of my childhood. I strive to bring beauty and positivity into the world. I hope you find here something that brings you joy and makes you feel emotional.

Botanical Art

  • This *New Botanical Series was created in my garden using Intentional Camera Movement—a dance I perform with my camera and the flowers. A love moment.

Cyanotypes

  • Inspired by Anna Atkins's work and my deep love for botanicals, creating cyanotypes feels like a magical and playful journey into nature's elements.

Abstract Photography

  • This series was created indoors during the long winter months as I tried to capture the essence of light and life reminiscent of my childhood home.

Artful companion

Every surface deserves an artful companion—a piece that enhances its beauty and breathes life into it. Every person should own an art piece for comfort, for day dreaming and to get lost in it.

About Mile

I'm originally from Bolivia, where I grew up hiking the rainforests of El Chapare, near my city Cochabamba, looking for orchids and rare plants, learning from my botanist father, playing with my sisters and pets. I live a creative life in Calgary, Alberta, being a mom, exploring nature, making art and creating community.

Cyanotype Workshops

Learn how to make Blueprints, those from back in the day!

This is an introduction to an ancient photographic process—maybe the very first one. It involves the use of chemicals, natural elements, imagination, and a touch of magic. No previous experience is necessary—just a curious spirit, a sense of adventure, and a readiness to laugh and have fun.

Our transformative community celebrates art, nature, and diversity, through wilderness excursions, city ventures and uplifting creative activities. Join us in this journey as we find connection, inspiration, positivity and growth.

Blooming Diversity and Fundación Sariry

We are so honored to have met Erika and Elisa from Fundación Sariry & Bolivia Kids, based in El Alto, Bolivia, during their visit to Canada. After a beautiful hike in the Rocky Mountains and sharing an Apthapi (a traditional community picnic), we formed an incredible bond that transcends distance. Together, we’ve pledged to support Bolivian children in need by raising funds for the art program through Bolivia Kids.

Since 2007, Bolivia Kids has been helping under privileged children and their families build resilience and transcend poverty through literacy, life skills and nutrition.

I’m thrilled to partner with Bolivia Kids this year to help bring a dream to life: creating an art program for Fundación Sariry in El Alto, La Paz, Bolivia. 100% of the proceeds from sales through Bolivia Kids go directly toward funding these programs. Visit the Bolivia Kids website to support this meaningful initiative!
