Miranda will provide gentle, creative guidance and all necessary materials, including paints, brushes, wood painting panels, and image transfer supplies. We will play with abstract landscape composition and learn how to create scenes with depth by layering acrylic paint with brush techniques to add texture and detail. We will also explore color interactions to create a mood in your artwork. As one of our layers, we will incorporate chosen images into paintings using transfer techniques to personalize your piece.
Step-by-step instructions and all of the materials you need to create will be provided. All experience levels welcome. A beginner's mind is a plus!
Miranda believes that art is for everyone. Making art together in a space without judgment challenges pre-conceived notions and inspires dialogue, cultivating understanding and compassion.
Artist Bio:
Who is Miranda? I grew up in a cozy Vermont town, basking in nature's changing beauty. Creating art with my mom and friends sparked my imagination and led me to the Maine College of Art, where I continued to appreciate New England’s lush landscapes. My journey then took me to Western North Carolina, a vibrant place that fuels my creativity, drawing inspiration from its biodiversity and community connections. Through my artistic endeavors, I have come to understand that our ties with one another and with nature are essential. In a world where capitalism often encourages us to see ourselves as isolated individuals, I believe in breaking down those barriers. Art-making and appreciation belong to everyone, transcending titles and credentials. Engaging with art is a way for us to reconnect—not only with each other but with the earth itself.
