Miriam ran “Mosaic Garden Art”, a business which specialised in Mosaic wall art and sculpture for the garden. She has completed many private commissions for clients in Sydney and has successfully sold her artwork through Garden Nurseries and Garden Galleries in NSW and Queensland.

Miriam attended the Gardening Australia Live Show 2001 and 2003 where she exhibited and sold her work.

Prior to this Miriam was a Papier Mache Sculptor. She completed private and business commissions and sold her work through several gift boutiques in Sydney. One of the highlights of this period was the “Fangartist” exhibition in Newtown. Miriam’s work appeared as feature articles in local newspapers and was featured on national TV.

Portfolios of all Miriam’s work are available on request.

Names of Nurseries and gift galleries that carried Miriam’s artwork are available on request as is the names of customers who have commissioned works in their homes.

Miriam previously taught at Fired Up Art Ceramics Studio in Telopea, Strathfield Community College, Eco Living in Randwick, SMOOSH (after school care) Rosebery and Waverly Woollahra art centre.

Miriam is currently teaching students at Gardeners Road Public School Rosebery to create mosaic murals. Students have completed one mural and are working on a second mural.

Miriam also works on a voluntary basis with the school running their garden art program. The 125 year mosaic mural and the yr 2 girls’ bathroom mural was installed last year. We are currently applying for a council grant for a two year art program.
