Hey there! My name is Miranda Balogh. I’m a Canadian artist and educator whose mission is to inspire my audience to unlock their authentic self-expression through art.
My desire is to share wisdom, art resources, and personal stories that will inspire you to embody your creative power. With greater self-confidence, it becomes easier for you to make art that you’re proud of!
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need an expensive art education or many years of experience to be an artist. In my opinion, everyone is creative. Anyone can be an artist. To step into your power as an artist, all you need is the willingness to express yourself through your art. It’s really that simple!
Core Values
Although I have been creating art for several years, I started painting with watercolours in January 2020.
Shown below are watercolour paintings demonstrating how I leveraged online education (in the form of free Youtube tutorials and Skillshare classes) and combined it with my passion for art.
As a result, I was able to transform myself from a struggling beginner watercolour artist into a half decent watercolourist.
If I can achieve this success, I know you can, too!
Personal Philosophy
Knowing that education is not always affordable for people of different walks of life, it has become my mission to provide easily accessible and informative resources for everyone.
As such, I provide digital resources and offer online art education to empower artists and creatives like yourself to leverage your skills in an increasingly visual and digital world.
So if you have stumbled across this little corner of the Internet to learn how to improve your watercolour painting skills as well as your art education, you’ve come to the right place!
About Me In A Nutshell
Some time after graduating, I embarked on the journey of a lifetime. I moved to the other side of the world to teach English in South Korea.
During the year and a half that I lived in South Korea, I realized that I wanted to keep teaching when I returned home.
But when my journey abroad came to an end a few months before the start of the global pandemic in 2020, all my future plans were upended. At this turning point in my life, I had three major realizations:
- I recognized that online education and online communities were becoming more important than ever during a time when the entire world was going through an unprecedented crisis.
- Art was increasingly becoming an important healing and coping mechanism for many people who were struggling to adapt mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
- Art was becoming an important healing balm and creative outlet for many individuals who were burning out from the stress and pressures of modern day living.
If you would like to read the story that inspired me to create my online art business, I encourage you to check out this email newsletter titled How Unexpected Loss Made Me A Better Artist. It’s an emotional, heartfelt, and inspiring tale.
For these reasons, I decided to combine my teaching experience with my creative skills. In this way, I can offer online education to anyone who is passionate and willing to learn.
It is my hope that these informative resources will serve you well. That being said, good luck with all your artistic and creative endeavours!
Best regards,
