Miranda creates atmospheric paintings inspired by the feeling of being in expansive landscapes. Her work explores the idea of the sublime - the simultaneous experience of beauty, awe, and underlying uncertainty present in the natural world. Her work captures the emotional energy of vast landscapes, dramatic weather, deep waters, and fleeting light - drawing viewers into spaces that feel both familiar and otherworldly.
Her physical process examines the delicate balance between shape, colour, mark and value. Through trial, error, and repeated experimentation, she works with her materials. Pouring, layering and scratching into paint. Embracing the accidental marks and gestures that emerge, noticing the way pressure, mood and process affects them. Each painting has its own path, evolving until the balance of light, colour, and form feels harmonious.
This deep engagement with nature is not just aesthetic, but also reflective of the realities of our time. In the context of climate change and environmental instability, her focus on nature’s beauty and power becomes a call to awareness. While her work often leans into the calming, meditative qualities of the natural world, it is underpinned by a recognition of its fragility, a perspective that informs her commitment to sustainable practices. She uses recycled, natural, and responsibly sourced materials wherever possible, ensuring her creative methods align with the values embedded in her work.
Miranda has exhibited widely and is represented by galleries across the country. She has many collectors and regularly works with interior designers and with Neptune, who sell prints of her work in their stores and online.
“What you feel in front of my paintings is as important to me as what you see.”
A painting is not a picture of an experience, it is the experience. Mark Rothko
