Imagine a long-haired little girl wielding a 64 pack of crayons. Armed with her favorite weapons, she pulls out her trusty Spider-Man coloring book and colors right outside the lines. To an outsider, this may seem like an insult to the laws of the universe but she sees something different. This little girl finds inspiration in breaking convention. Therein lies the beauty of Miri Muse Projects, and Miranda herself: an elegant deviation from the norm that still manages to capture an air of familiarity.
You can see this in any piece she creates. Whether she deftly drags her stylist across a digital piece or details a canvas with a lime green sharpie, her work exudes an originality that we crave to resonate with. Miranda lies in every brush stroke, every pencil smudge, every bit of color because she places herself there. Some of her most popular pieces are a lovely combination of her own emotion and already established motifs. Give her Mulan and she will make her magical, or Alice and she will give you a glimpse into a wonderland that is quite the opposite.
Miranda’s eye for seeking the strange in the usual has contributed to her generation’s era of new ideas, making her a creative force who has important information to rely in any artistic conversation. While fantastical, Miranda’s work has also aided in shining a black light on reality. The pieces she created for a non-profit human trafficking gala which proceeds aided victims affected, and those highlighting mental health bring about acute awareness and illustrate important perspectives.
Every commissioned or gifted piece from Miri Muse Projects comes infused with not only care and creativity, but a part of Miranda. It is no surprise that this little girl, whose art career began with a crayon and a broken rule, has given the world pieces with a unique understanding of what makes us human.
