Mikey Ilkiw is a multidisciplinary artist working across watercolor, gouache, oil, and digital media. He is currently working on developing his skills in cubism, trompe l’oeil, and cartooning while serving as a Resident Artist at the Art League of Long Island.

Mikey is an active presence in local art communities, frequently volunteering his time to assist in exhibition installations, attending life drawing (painting) sessions, and occasionally offering free flash portraits. His work is regularly on display in Long Beach Art League exhibitions.

​

Mikey's website features a comprehensive record of life drawing/painting sessions, current and past exhibitions, and perhaps most interestingly, a deep dive section which explores the progress of a painting from conception to completion.

​

Mikey lives in Seaford with his wife and two sons, whose energy and imagination reflect the same sense of play that often comes through in his artwork.
