Mikki Itzigsohn
Songwriters: A Debut Solo Exhibition of Paintings
February 15 - March 30
Opening Reception
Saturday, February 17
7 - 9 PM
Featuring live music by Emily Rose & The Rounders, from Los Angeles.
Mikki's paintings will be online HERE beginning 2/15/24.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Mikki Itzigsohn started playing in bands in high school. Later, working at the iconic roots music mecca of Los Angeles, McCabe's Guitar Shop, she quickly went from selling guitars to producing concerts, all while finishing college and playing in bands. It was at McCabe’s that she became deeply inspired by songwriters. Over the next decade she worked in many facets of the music industry from indie record label to Music Supervision to touring and performing with artist Benjamin Booker and her own band Small Wigs.
When the pandemic came and the music world shut down Mikki reignited a strong early love of visual art. With no formal training she found a way to express her love of music, symbolism & storytelling through painting. Mikki relocated to Austin, TX in 2022 and has made painting a daily practice.
This is Mikki's first show of her paintings.
