Artist Comments
A mother cheetah looks toward the horizon with her two adolescent cubs. Still under her guidance, the young animals learn the skills they will need to navigate life on their own. The scene reflects the quiet bond between mother and cubs and the knowledge passed from one generation to the next.

About the Artist
Artist Miranda Gamel paints ethereal portraits of women and animals, bridging the surreal and fantastical with a strong connection to human emotions. Through dynamic energy, each painting encapsulates the essence and spirit embodied by the subject of the composition. As the daughter of two artists, Miranda grew up nurturing artistic aspirations. "When I was young, I couldn't imagine being anything else - it just felt natural," says Miranda. After finishing high school, she began attending workshops and delving into techniques from both old masters and more contemporary artists. While traveling, Miranda often carries her sketchbook and minimal painting supplies, finding a process that relies solely on the essentials. In her home studio, affectionately referred to as a 'cluttered kind of clean,' she surrounds herself with supplies, canvases, and paints. When she's not painting, Miranda dedicates time to baking, playing with her adopted cat, and teaching art to aspiring professional artists.
