Miranda Andersen
Miranda Andersen’s artwork explores the intersection of line, light, and color by combining engraving and enameling. She has benefited from an eclectic education, including studying enameling with Linda Darty during a semester abroad in Italy; engraving with Pierce Healy at Penland School of Craft; and stained glass with Judith Schaechter at University of the Arts. She received her BA in Applied Design with an emphasis in Jewelry and Metals from San Diego State University and her AA in Studio Art from Diablo Valley College. Miranda’s work has been exhibited in California, Pennsylvania, and Italy, as well as with the Glass Art Society. She is excited to be joining the Enameling Department at the Crucible.
