Hi, I’m Miranda — a self-taught artist, maker, and creative wellbeing facilitator based in South London. Through my workshops, I help people reconnect with themselves through playful, calming, and meaningful art experiences. Whether it’s painting a mirror, candle, bauble or upcycled garment, everything I offer is designed to nurture creativity, build confidence, and promote self-love.
After years of struggling with disordered eating and body image, I began painting as a way to heal. I upcycled my mirror into a tropical garden-inspired artwork — a powerful act that helped me reframe my reflection and transform a space once filled with criticism into one of celebration and peace. Now, I share that experience with others, offering creative workshops that invite you to do the same.
My flagship session, Self-Love Mirror Upcycling, is a reflective and joy-filled workshop where you'll craft your own meaningful mirror using reclaimed wood, collage and paint, all while exploring themes of self-acceptance. I also run candle painting, bauble decorating and garment upcycling sessions — all beginner-friendly and full of colour, connection, and intention.
Perfect for hen dos, birthdays, team socials or just because — I can travel to you or help you find a beautiful space to host your event. All materials are sustainably sourced, and every workshop is a celebration of creativity, wellbeing and being kind to yourself.
Ready to make something beautiful? Let’s get making.
