Miriam Sweeney Artwork
We love Miriam Sweeney and her art. She loved art as a young woman, but then started a family and so art took a backseat. Re-engaged with art in the past five years or so. Her city map pieces are about her love of place and all the memories she has of places she has been with the people she loves. Her egg shells and bees work is about the fragility of life. Her map and memorabilia pieces are about the lives we lead and all the history packed inside. If I recall correctly, the three lines on some pieces are about her three sons.https://www.mbsweeneyart.com/See @mir_sweeney on Instagram.“Drawing inspiration from city aerial views, my work explores the urban landscape that sit somewhere between order and chaos, structure and collapse, expression and control. Seen from above, its pieces emerge like a puzzle, each with its own personality. I paint playful, textured curvilinear shapes to capture the city streets, its landmarks, the droning sounds of traffic, the chitter chatter of its cast of characters. I hope to evoke the feeling one gets when flying into a new place for the first time, when we try to take everything in, or reflect on the lasting impressions of authentic connections, special places and their unique stories.”Photoshoot at Baker Street on June 23rd, 2024.Transcript of Recordingkeyword: featuredartistsArtist Statement by Miriam Sweeney - 2025-04-19----------------------Drawing inspiration from city aerial views, my work explores the urban landscape that sits somewhere between order and chaos, structure and collapse, expression and control.
