Lemons floral set and grow like wildflowers quote art set

Hi, I’m Mireya

My work is rooted in feeling-the calm of a breeze, the warmth of the sun, the color of orange roses, a cup of tea, painting… all the simple magical moments that bring me peace.

My artwork is handcrafted with lots of texture, color, and hopefully that warmth that transpires when I am deep in my art-making.

A Painted Garden is my journal of me wandering through my creative life and the lessons I learn. There’s room for all of us!
