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.
After studying photography at Brown University, Miranda became the first 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. Some of her favorite memories are from being on the road with Bread & Puppet as well as The Stop Shopping Choir.
Miranda also helps run a.f.t. Co-operative, a place for living and breathing values, with Ali Van. She is currently pursuing a Masters in Chinese Medicine at Pacific College in New York.
