Drawing on her background in psychology and over two decades of professional artistry, Mys Nyx brings profound psychological insight and intentionality to every brushstroke.In our conversation, we explore how her psychology background informs her understanding of human perception, why she's drawn to embellishing her work with precious materials, and how she approaches sensitive cultural narratives with reverence.
