Hello my name is Mirandr pronounced Mironda. I was very fortunate as a child to have grandparents that were artistic, bossy and frugal. Mostly my Opa (Grandfather) was grumpy and Oma (Grandmother) was bossy. Together they nurtured my inner child through art and music, craft, knitting and gardening.

Years later I became a florist during the 1980's and this was a period where the cottage garden look was prevalent for fresh flowers, dried flower arrangements in baskets and pot pourri.

What inspires me is the art of doing something yourself. I love colour and kiwi kitsch. If you think about it, we are a country full of vibrant natural colours with paralleled international techniques running right throughout our kiwi psyche.

I gather, I hunt, I stare lovingly at what I place before me. Then I create.
