ABOUT THE ARTIST

I am a fine artist, illustrator, designer and published author based in East Sussex.

With a background in both design and illustration, I bring a versatile skill set to every project, delivering creative solutions with strong visual impact. I work closely with clients to understand their needs, going the extra mile to provide a seamless, all-in-one design service. My experience as an artworker also ensures every detail is accurate and delivered to spec.

Whether I’m creating a large-scale prop for an opera, illustrations for a children’s book, commissioned paintings or an eye-catching magazine cover, I love a creative challenge!

I have over 20 years of design and illustration experience since graduating from London College of Communication and Fashion Institute of Technology (New York).

FINE ART EXHIBITIONS

Mia’s work is inspired by the wild and forgotten tales.

She loves exploring antique fairs, searching for unusual old pieces that spark her imagination and inspire her next work. Each piece she carefully sources has a character and history of its own. She is drawn to the beauty of their timeworn surfaces and the whispers of stories they seem to hold.

Through her paintings, Mia hopes to reconnect us with the wild and ignite our imagination.

Currently represented at Fosse art gallery in Stow-on-the-Wold.
Past exhibitions at Imagine Gallery in Suffolk, The Wing in Wadhurst, Do Not Obstruct in Brighton, Paxton & Glew in Brighton and Putney Pies in London.
