ABOUT

    Hi, I'm Michelle Arcadia Keene.  My nickname is my initials, MAK.  It was given to me when I lived in Atlanta, GA (almost 18 years of my life).

​

    I am a talented artist who has been drawing since I was 4 years old.  I was noticed by my kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Aldridge, in 1985 at the North Elementary School in Skowhegan, Maine.  I was asked to draw a horse for a drawing contest and won!  My horse drawing was posted in our kitchen cafeteria.

​

    I have been drawing and doing art ever since.  I attended the Art Institute of Atlanta Decatur for Graphic Design for 2 years but decided to keep drawing instead.  My major accomplishments have reached so many people.  Please check out my gallery of art.  My favorite media is pencil sketching and caricature artwork.  My paintings take a lot of time and detail.

 

    I'm an experienced artist who has done portraits, drawings, face painting, and hair braiding at the Skowhegan State Fair for 4 years and Oosoola days in Norridgewock for 2 years.  I've attended holiday craft events in many parts of Maine.  I also travel to do hair braiding for those who have a hard time getting to me.

​

    My childhood was rough; I was born in a broken home and raised in a dysfunctional family, withstanding abuse and racism.  My parents divorced when I was very young and I had a disappearing father.  My parents still taught me the word of God, which I will always carry with me.  I use my talents to beat obstacles that try to bind me down to my past.  I'm very understanding, caring, and loving.  I can't wait to meet you if I haven't yet.  I hope you enjoy my gift from the one above, the Lord.  God bless everyone.  Please don't forget to rate, like, and subscribe to my page.

Thank-you always for the love,

MAK (now Michelle Sorrentino)
