Miranda’s work is an exploration of current human migration issues. She investigates the environmental and socio/political impact of the displacement of people.

"I am a first generation Latina artist born from two Mexican parents. For me, the term “crossroads” is defined by the periods of time that I’ve found myself caught between two worlds
and having to make difficult decisions. For CreativeMornings I will talk about the contemplative moments in my life that have made a profound impact on the person I am today and the work
that I do." - Eliana Miranda
