Working within and against the traditions of landscape painting, Miranda's work resists the depiction of specific geographic sites. Instead, they operate as speculative environments in which atmosphere, colour and spatial ambiguity construct landscapes that feel both familiar and otherworldly. These imagined terrains explore the idea of the sublime - the simultaneous experience of beauty, awe, and underlying uncertainty. She also intends them to reflect broader conditions of ecological precarity, where the stability often associated with landscape is increasingly unsettled.
Her physical process examines the delicate balance between shape, colour, mark and value. Through repeated experimentation, she builds up layers of paint, embracing accidental marks, and noticing the way pressure, mood and process affects them. The resulting pieces capture the emotional energy of vast landscapes, dramatic weather and deep waters - their sense of depth and distant light drawing viewers in.
This deep engagement with nature is not just aesthetic. In the context of climate change her focus on nature’s beauty and power becomes a call to awareness. The power and energy in her work its underpinned by a recognition of nature's 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 many collectors and is represented by galleries across the country. She regularly works with Neptune, who sell prints of her work in their stores and online.
