We Stayed Longer Than We Planed by Miriam Traher

Discovery

The plan was a 10 o'clock wrap-up until the room reeved up and the red took over. A heart full of spontaneous energy and zero worries about getting home in "good time."

The Best Plan We Never Made
The plan was a quiet exit.
A polite 10 o'clock wrap-up, coats in hand,
and an early start for the morning.

Then the room reeved up.

Suddenly we’re into it,
the kitchen dance party has started
with no worries about getting home in "good time."
The red is loud, the energy is wide awake,
and the clock is officially irrelevant.

We stay.
We let the night take over.

Because there is a specific, exuberant joy
in the party that refuses to end—
in the spontaneous momentum
of a moment that decided to happen.

It’s about the unfiltered right now.

A soundtrack that refuses to be quiet.
A heart full of kitchen-dance-party energy.
The best kind of plan we never made.

Based in London, Ontario, Miriam Traher creates expressive abstract paintings rooted in movement, atmosphere, texture, memory, and joy. Through layered surfaces, calligraphic marks, and intuitive colour, her work explores the moments, feelings, conversations, and little bits of beauty that make us feel fully alive.

Inspired by weathered surfaces, shifting light, flowers, music, storytelling, and the emotional energy between things, her paintings invite viewers to pause, feel, and discover their own connections within the work.
