Human Portraiture

Miranda creates paintings that tell stories about her subjects. She finds that human portraiture to be the most challenging of all the work that she does.  One brushstroke will change a person’s expression so that they no longer look like themselves.  To make such close observations of the wrinkles around an eye, the eye’s complex color, to paint the tattoos and contemporary clothing, to capture a person in a set time and age, she feels that she is saying prayers for the individuals she paints.
