Miriam’s studio has taken over her entire house. Her experience as a display designer and her love of pattern and color can be seen in her home. She also designs quilting fabric and many of her paintings and quilts have found places throughout her home. She calls herself a maker—and her mediums are not just oil paints, but textiles and floral designs as well.
Miriam’s preferred medium is oil. She grew up with the scent of oils as she watched her artist mother at work, where she began her lifetime love of painting. Miriam loves telling stories with her paintings. She often depicts people at work or in fanciful adventures. The landscapes she paints are vivid scenes, often depicting English landscapes. A pub scene may also find its way into her work.
Miriam’s work has been featured in galleries in Taos, New Mexico as well as a four-women show called Red Dirt Girls: Peace’d Together at the Sears Museum, Utah Tech University in St. George, Utah (10-21 through 1-22). She has been a regular participant at the annual Sears Invitational as well. Her work is currently in the LDS History Museum, Salt Lake City, UT as part of a juried world-wide competition, themed “Lifting the Hands that Hang Down.” She has also exhibited in the Springville Museum of Art, Springville, UT. Miriam and her husband live in Santa Clara, UT.
