Artist Statement

I work in abstract landscapes which are mostly inspired by my own travels and based on my own photographs. My paintings start as simplified drawings of a landscape photo and evolve into a colored image while working on canvas. All my paintings are originals. The coloring is influenced by my background in glass work. I was a painter of stained glass windows for over 20 years at Willet Stained Glass studio of Philadelphia.

Artist Bio

A painter of both glass and canvas, Mirjam has fused the two painting techniques in all her work.
She was a glass painter for Willet Studio in Philadelphia for 20 years, painting stained glass windows for buildings all over the US. Mirjam left glass painting to dedicate herself exclusively to oil painting.

Being Swiss, she spends considerable time in Switzerland, her country of origin. She derives much of her inspiration for her paintings from the mountains of the Engadin where she has her second home.

Lately her travels to Bolivia, Chile and Death Valley have sparked her fascination with deserts and desert light, which will be the subject matter of her future work.
