Artist Bio: Miranda Lloyd



Miranda Lloyd

Miranda has been working as a professional designer and visual artist for over 17 years and has taken her work around Australia.


Miranda’s enthusiasm and passion to paint comes from her own surroundings in the Adelaide Hills and her own garden. Wishing to bring the ‘outside, inside'.



Her paintings exaggerate nature’s lines, shapes, and colours – creating a modern and contemporary style.

Conservation Statement
"Consumerism in our world leads us away from what is really important in our relationships to nature and the health of the planet. I feel it is  important to help preserve our natural environment and help, in whatever way we can, to conserve and protect the environment and animals around the world. As individuals we can all do our bit and support the organisations such as conservation education programmes like those at Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust and at Zoos SA, so young people learn how to conserve our environment, the wildlife and learn for themselves why it is important.

These organisations and programs that teach children are the key to the future  survival of vegetation and animals, their work is so amazing and doesn't get enough credit! Nature simply is amazing and I hope with my work being exhibited at Creating for Conservation to help these grass roots conservation education initiatives.

One of the most wonderful and educational experiences I have ever had was at Montaro Zoo “As a Zoo Keeper for a Day”
