Mia studied portrait and figurative painting at The Heatherley School of Fine Art, London. Having gravitated toward still life and botanical subjects, she is drawn to the tremendous energy flowers embody and is captivated by their ability to be both delicate and ethereal whilst generating force and strength, which compels her to create vast canvases for her compositions. Mia is meticulous in her study of subtle shades, light, forms and spaces throughout. She aims to capture the essence of her subject and allows it complete ownership of the canvas. By enlarging the scale, the nature of the subject is intensified, generating a wall of life.
