Jewellery - Miranda Britton


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.
