Hey, I'm mako!

- Award-winning watercolor artist, teacher, best-selling author, and founder of Makoccino. 

Watercolor painting isn't just my passion; it's my way of spreading joy, peace, and excitement through a creative hobby. For the past decade, I've been on a mission to help fellow watercolor enthusiasts develop their skills and techniques so they can grow as artists, and find genuine joy in the world of watercolor.

My teaching style? Think of it as turning complicated art theory into bite-sized nuggets everyone can grasp. I'm all about step-by-step methods that not only level up your painting skills but also give your confidence a solid boost. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just dipping your toes in, I'm your guide!

I’m so excited that you're here, and I can't wait to be part of your watercolor journey!
