Miranda creates atmospheric paintings inspired by the feeling of being in expansive landscapes. Her work contains suggestions of watery valleys, misty horizons, and hills veiled in soft, glowing light. She is particularly drawn to the twilight hours and the threshold where land meets sky.
In the studio, her process is more poetic than observational, concerned with capturing an emotional resonance — a sense of space, light, and land that reflects the quiet power of nature. Through trial, error, and repeated experimentation, she plays with her materials, embracing the unexpected and noticing the way pressure, mood and process affects them. She layers, works, and reworks the surface, in a constant push and pull dynamic, using a mixture of control and instinct until a harmony is reached.
She instinctively guides her materials to mimic the shapes and patterns found in the natural world. She is drawn to the sublime and finds peace and restoration in landscapes with far-reaching horizons. They calm much like her painting practice does.
Miranda is a sustainably conscious artist, invested in both the environmental and emotional impact of her work. As well as hoping to inspire the viewer’s love of nature and the landscape, the physical impact of her work is also very important. Wherever possible she works with recycled, sustainable and natural products, ensuring that her practice aligns 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
