Iko is an abstract-realist painter from Bend Oregon, sourcing inspiration from the infinite wisdom of the natural world and many years of travel.  

The idea that nothing in this universe is static, and that everything is dynamic and interconnected — is a potent catalyst for the diverse rhythm of patterns, colors, textures, and composition that emerges through her creative process, through oil painting, acrylics, watercolor, and other mixed media. It is also reflective of her own, nomadic life.

Her subjects often include animals and their symbolism, portraits, the natural world, and more recently a deeper dive into exploring astrological archetypes and the ancient wisdom of the Zodiac as a powerful means of self-reflection and inner knowing
