Exploring line and space, where the edges meet. Mixed media, collage, graphite, pencil. Miriam Traher is an intuitive artist, creating mixed media abstracts: led by color, shapes, marks and lines as they are layered and responded to. Her work is vibrant, expressive and full of visual texture, bringing life and joy to homes
The process involves layering paint, collage, paint and more paint, creating layers and layers with colours, shapes and designs that are scraped, sanded, scratched and dug into, repainted, revealing and leaving bits of the past, the history of each layer. A story emerges that blends this history with the final design, which is rich in texture. The beauty is in the discovery, the rich surface and the hidden bits that can only be seen by getting in close and exploring its secrets.
