contemporary botanical art
by Skye Como Miller
My abstracted florals feature a blue-focused palette because contrary to popular belief blue doesn't just represent sadness. The color blue helps us process our fears and any grief that manifests in this wild and wonderful life. Blue helps us access and express those feelings, but then ushers us into a place of deep peace. Blue is sky and water, it is peace and safety, it is midnight and dawn, both expansive and grounding.
"as I surrender to the catharsis
I'm Skye Como Miller, (the artist behind Indigo Skye) and I create contemporary botanical artwork that embodies the energy of nostalgia and belonging. My process of painting is meditative; I become fully absorbed into my work as I surrender to the catharsis of gliding paint onto canvas one brushstroke at a time...
of gliding paint onto canvas one brushstroke at a time"
Painting blue-focused florals brings me so much peace. Blue isn't just about sadness and pain, blue is also for wholeness, and safety, and joy. My work revolves around themes of slow living, remembering the lightness of childhood, and finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.
I write about tender topics like pursuing your dreams, wearing a million hats, cultivating creativity, and more.

If you see the extraordinary in the ordinary, create meaning in things others overlook, believe in living slowly with intention, and desire Beauty above (almost) all else — can we be besties?
