Miranda Benzies

I was raised in Devon, England where I grew up in a very creative household. My artist mother was a major influence on my life. I was 14 when I purchased my first box of oils, they came naturally to me and I found I could express myself best through this medium.

I studied fine art at foundation level before going on to study history at Bristol University. In order to increase my knowledge of pigment, perspective and to learn specific techniques I attended courses at art schools including Heatherley's School of Art under Ian Rowlands RA and The Princes Drawing School.

I have exhibited widely in London participating in group shows at galleries in the East and West End. In January I was selected as an artist to take part in the Big Lindt Egg Hunt which went on tour around the country.

I moved to north London in 2004 and work from Euroart Studios in Tottenham.
