More about the artist

Miranda finished drawing and painting at the Dutch 'Nieuwe Kunst Academie Crejat' in Alkmaar (NL). She followed here during 5 years lessons and developed her own painting style. You can describe her style as abstract, expressionistic, figurative art. With acrylic paint she is painting in various transparant layers. Her subjects are various, from portraits to landscapes and buildings with an historical background and even an icon. Besides painting on linen, Miranda also made various wall- and windowpaintings. 

Portrait of the artist

For a theatre association she made various décors. She worked as a creative teacher for a school. It was a challenge for her to learn the children several techniques in a playful way for drawing, painting and workmanship. Besides these activities, the Dutch school 'De Zandloper' in the place Koedijk (NL) gave Miranda also the opportunity to do some art projects. For more information about this interesting artist, see the link below of her website 'Mirandart'.

Interior Design: Peaceful & elegant apartment by 152 Elizabeth located in New York

Be inspired by this peaceful & elegant apartment designed by 152 Elizabeth located in New York. They have used beautiful materials and a peaceful color palette for a great effect! I am very impressed. See below for the results. 

If there’s something reflected by this apartment, it’s a sense of peace and tranquility. Its elegantly decorated spaces have been created to inspire these feelings and create a place in which to rest and relax after a long day of work. The project was undertaken by the architectural firm 152 Elizabeth and is located in the Nolita district of the city of New York, USA. Its living room is done in soft colors and has been decorated with sober furnishings and blinds that allow the passage of light into the space. A soft and neutral color palette has been employed in the décor, as well as a variety of textures that have created a carefree and comfortable space that is cozy at the same time. 

Thank you for reading this blogpost.
