Shares Her Love of Nature With the World

Hello & Hola, I’m Mireya

An expressive painter, especially interested in abstract florals. A creative blogger and writer about her art adventures.

I love gardens, the moon, stars, nature, and how it makes me feel. It’s my peace, love, and positive energy. Nature sparks my curiosity, lights me up.

My abstract floral paintings are loose, playful, and fun. Oh, and painting parties in the garden sound wonderful. Coming soon.

Simplify, slow down, be kind. And don’t forget to have art in your life – music, paintings, theater, dance, and sunsets. -Eric Carle
