Miranda Rensch is an emerging abstract artist and traveler, currently splitting time between Spain, Hawaii, and Bali. She studied fine arts, design, and entrepreneurship at the Savannah College of Art and Design and the Minneapolis College of Art and Design as well as studying abstract art in Honolulu, Hawaii and Sedona, Arizona. She prefers large-scale abstract paintings and works primarily in acrylics and the ancient technique of pigmented encaustic wax for it’s capacity for to emulate and reflect the textural subtlety of the natural world.

“I consider myself a sensualist, delighting in the sensory experience of being a human. I see creating art as something that transcends the human experience – turning imagination into reality and creating something of beauty that didn’t exist before. When I paint something I at some point consider beautiful, I feel like an extension of nature.

The process of abstract painting to me feels both creative and destructive. After a long history of perfectionism, I am fascinated by abstract art’s impossibility to predict or control. To me, abstract painting is a metaphor and expression of my inner journey towards releasing control and delighting in the process of witnessing each moment – the beautiful, the ugly, the frustrating, and the joyous – until finally arriving (only momentarily) at a moment where something somehow feels “whole”.

My paintings reflect the bliss I experience the simple pleasures of my world – the feeling of sun on your skin, a cool breeze, crumbling paint on a wall, the textures of cobblestones and tree bark, the subtle beauties that only presence and nature and the passage of time can create. My art allows me to be a co-creator in allowing something of beauty to be experienced, not through control or domination, but through presence, play, and awe.” — Miranda Rensch
