Featured Work
Mirjam’s artistic sensibilities come from a childhood immersed within artistic communities in the Netherlands and France.
These formative experiences have produced an artistic freedom that draws inspiration from anywhere and everywhere in her surroundings and is evident in her truly unique artwork.
Mirjam’s artwork evokes a range of visual connections that seem to connect us and draw us into a deeper state of being. We stop, look in, and immerse ourselves in that field, in that moment. As we do so, the story unfolds, layer by layer, and we are awakened, bit by bit.
