Miranda Zhen-Yao Van-Boswell is an artist and student of acupuncture and herbs, currently living in the ancestral homelands of the Lenape Nation. The elements are her preferred media, as well as the foundation of her cultivation and creative practice. Miranda sweeps, waters, writes, fixes, squints, sings, and soaks her rice. Her work is often a question of how to hold time.
Miranda studied Visual Arts at Brown University before becoming the innkeeper (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. She has also performed with Bread & Puppet Theatre, and Reverend Billy & The Stop Shopping Choir. Miranda is a member of a.f.t. Co-operative, and is currently pursuing her Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Pacific College of Health and Science in New York.
