Miranda
Britton is an artist and jeweller working
out of her home studio in Windermere,
Ontario. After receiving her BFA in visual
art from Vancouver’s Simon Fraser
University, she returned home to the Muskoka
area in 2001 and became an active member of
the local artistic community.
In 2006 she indulged a lifelong fascination
with personal adornment by enrolling in the
Jewellery Essentials program at the
Haliburton School of the Arts. Since
completing the program, Miranda has
developed a distinctive aesthetic, creating
thoughtful and intimate works of art for the
body that are inspired by the objects and
shapes that Miranda encounters in her daily
life.

Although
she works primarily with precious metals,
Miranda finds the stories told by a
discarded photograph, an old piano key or a
hand picked beach stone just as precious as
any gemstone and often incorporates these
objects into her jewellery. Recently,
Miranda has begun exploring the medium of
encaustic painting and is experimenting with
ways of integrating wax and paint into her
jewellery.
