Artist Statement
Written by Miranda Davis
Miranda Davis is an illustrator based in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.
From her love of Ghibli movies, Miranda began her journey into visual storytelling. With Hayao Miyazaki’s influential work, she learned to be a part of the change one seeks in the world.
Due to the lack of representation in the media, she took on the responsibility of featuring black women throughout her work.
From honest commentary to amusing illustrations, her paintings center around the feminine black experience. Her mission is to provide the world with vulnerable and honest illustrations of the black perspective.
