Mike Mikkelson

Artist. Maker.

HI! I’m Mike, the artist and maker behind May River Creative. A studio focused on geometric sculpture and laser-crafted artwork inspired by structure, light, and the natural world. My work combines precision engineering with artistic exploration, transforming mathematical forms and raw materials into pieces that feel both modern and organic.

Living with Multiple Sclerosis has profoundly shaped my creative journey. As disability changed the way I move through the world, art became both an outlet and a way to adapt — encouraging me to slow down, focus deeply, and approach creation with patience and intention. The challenges of living with MS have pushed me to rethink process, embrace experimentation, and find new ways to express complexity, resilience, and balance through my work.

May River Creative

Based in the South Carolina Lowcountry, Mike creates work that reflects both technical craftsmanship and personal resilience. Every piece is a reminder that creativity can evolve through challenge, and that beauty often emerges from adaptation. Specializing in custom polyhedral creations, laser-cut and engraved artwork, and photography, Mike blends modern tools with artistic exploration to create pieces inspired by mathematics, nature, texture, and light. His work often reflects a balance between structure and unpredictability — a perspective shaped in part by living with Multiple Sclerosis.
