Miranda is an artist of the Hong Kong diaspora working in photography, writing, and performance. She came of age in the ancestral homelands of the Narragansett Nation (colonially known as Providence, Rhode Island), where she studied photography at Brown University. She then went on to become the first Work Exchange Artist in Residence at the Wedding Cake House. She is a recipient of RISCA and NEFA grants, and has work held in the permanent collection of the Museum of Everyday Life.
These days, Miranda helps run Reverend Billy & The Stop Shopping Choir’s social media, and is a Creative Associate for a.f.t. Co-operative. Miranda is also pursuing her Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Pacific College in New York. In her sacred hours, she tends a garden outside her bedroom window in Bushwick, which inspires her newsletter One Year a Garden.
