Miri is an intuitive abstract painter who expresses her emotions through painting. Her painting process starts with random strokes of colors and as she does it she gets inspired on how to proceed next. At first, the shapes seem random, but layer by layer they start to connect and make sense. This is the most challenging and satisfying step because the artist gets to experience and see how the chaos starts to get form and meaning. In the end, the artist looks at the painting and the title of the painting comes to her mind. The artist uses brushes, spatulas, and sponges to create textures and shapes, she loves to combine all the tools as each one allows her to create a different shape. The outcome is a romantic dance of colors and shapes.

When Miri works on a figurative painting, it is usually based on a photo. She draws the figure on a Bristol board and transfers it into the canvas, which was already primed with a first layer, and then she starts painting the figure. Towards the end, Miri starts to incorporate abstract elements into the painting. This part is the most satisfying step because she gets to let my imagination go again. Sometimes the abstract parts are minimal, and sometimes they are more pronounced, depending the specific piece she is working on
