From the Connecting with Nature, Connecting with me Series- Grounding 03 Painting

Mireka Starr is an individual that is passionate about care. Not only does this show in her work as a CCA, it speaks loudly through her abstract expressionism and portrait art. Mireka describes painting as the love of her life. Mireka found this love in 2014 when her late friend and mentor, Davyd Whaley began to encourage her to use art as a form of self expression. Once she put paint onto a canvas she hasn’t stopped! Mireka uses a variety of colours, textures, and techniques as a way to convey her thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Adding to her style, she began to experiment with portrait work. This experiment became an added style after much time and dedication to perfecting this technique. As of late, Mireka has used most of her time creating new pieces as she creates artistic representations of her current reality.
