Surface Designs Made to Travel

Hello, I'm Miriam -

Originally from the United States and now creating from my studio outside Barcelona, I make art for people who see beauty in story and craft. My designs are inspired by years spent living in England, Italy, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Spain, as well as by travels through nearly forty countries.

From Artisan Tradition to Contemporary Design

I collect creative techniques like travel souvenirs: from a calligrapher’s stall in Taipei to the stone-mosaic workshops of Rome, from woven baskets of peppercorns in Kampot to a jeweller’s bench in Galle Fort. Each encounter adds new depth and detail to the artwork in my studio.
