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.
Working both within and challenging landscape traditions, Miranda avoids depicting specific places. Instead, she creates imagined environments shaped by atmosphere, colour, and spatial ambiguity, resulting in scenes that feel both familiar and otherworldly. Her work explores the sublime, where beauty and awe meet unease, reflecting ecological fragility and the instability of the natural world.
Her practice centres on the balance of shape, colour, mark, and value. Through repeated experimentation, she embraces accidental marks and observes how mood and process influence them. The works evoke vast landscapes, dramatic weather, and deep waters, with a sense of depth and distant light that draws 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 is 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.
