Miriam is a contemporary oil painter. She takes inspiration for her work from looking at the human form and how we as people interact with each other, taking photographs of unstaged gestures and using these photos as reference for her work. How we see people visually, their posture, emotion, how we engage with each other or don’t as the case may be. The tangle of human relationships in everyday life, chatting casually while strolling city streets, waiting at the bus stop in the rain, shopping or embracing.
Miriam tells a story, a fragment of their lives capturing a moment or a mood in an otherwise busy life. Colour is muted and tonal .I work with a full colour palette mixing and blending as i work through the painting, creating the scene and leaving the viewer to continue the story alone…
We at Irish Art Plus are thrilled to have the opportunity to offer some of Miriam’s fine Irish Art creations to our highly valued clientele.
