Miranda creates atmospheric paintings inspired by the feeling of being in an expansive landscape. 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.
Miranda's work explores the sublime in nature - the simultaneous experience of beauty, awe, and underlying danger 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.
