"I previously had been gifted a piece from Miranda that led me to want to ask her to make a piece as a gift for someone else.

It was wonderful in honoring some loved ones and celebrating a birthday at the same time.

Miranda is not only an excellent artist, but is insightful and generous with her time and collaboration. She takes real care to incorporate ideas and ultimately put her own special take on a topic. I highly recommend her work either as a gift for yourself or to a loved one.

Thank you for the excellent piece. It was beautiful!"

“I cried when I first saw my brother JR's portrait.

It is amazing how Miranda captured the exact essence of my brother JR. I felt like Miranda knew JR for years. She truly takes the time to learn about her subject and takes great care in making sure the portrait honors your loved one. It is evident that she puts her heart and soul into her work.

I am just so grateful to have this beautiful reminder of my brother JR. I owe you a debt of gratitude Miranda, thank you! xo”

“I am forever grateful for Miranda's heart and thoughtfulness. The picture captures my niece's growth throughout the past months and spirit so beautifully. Miranda listens deeply with intentionality. That radiates throughout the piece. I am in awe.

Thank you for seeing my niece, Miranda. Thank you for capturing her light and ongoing, transforming, growing memory. She is memory in motion and Miranda's heart showcased that. Life in motion. Purpose in motion. Wow. My niece and I will have stories to share based on this piece for generations to come. Thank you Miranda! <3”

“I saw Miranda’s artwork and how thoughtful, sweet, and somehow complexly understated it is and loved it and knew she’d do justice to my ideas!

I can’t recommend Miranda’s custom artwork enough, I truly love her style, energy, and mission.”

This artwork Miranda created of my grandmother was so detailed and beautiful. I literally cried tears of joy when I saw it. Miranda, thank you. Thank you so much for bringing my grandmother’s life and story to life in such a beautiful and vivid way. The artwork was in the same style my grandmother loved and the colors chosen was so bright and beautiful. You even got the detail of her gold ear ring hoops. This is amazing and so are you.

Miranda’s work is so colorful and whimsical, you can’t help but smile and be transported by the positive vibes of her creativity! The piece I commissioned was for my son, and she was able to incorporate symbols with personal and cultural meaning in regards to my pregnancy journey.

She really brought to life the themes of nature and music to celebrate my son’s first birthday, and it’s a piece that we hope will bring inspiration and meaning to him as he grows older. It feels so special to have a piece like this personally created for us with love and care.

— Jen, Commissioned Birthday Gift for Her Son


For loved ones’ birthdays, I usually gravitate towards in-person, experiential, special events. However, due to COVID, that was not a possibility this year. I wanted to give something one-of-a-kind to my partner for their birthday and Miranda’s Celebrate Your Story commission series seemed like a great prospect.

Miranda exceeded my expectations. The finished commission was everything I’d wished for and more. The storytelling, nuance, detail, tenderness, and HEART that went into this piece was remarkable. You can tell a lot of work and care was poured into it, and she was as excited to make it as I was to see it.

My partner teared up when she received it and gave me the biggest hug. I loved this piece so much, I hired Miranda to do a second commission for a different loved one! This person was at a loss for words when they received their commissioned gift. Highly recommend! Worth every penny.

“So personal, so unique and so damn cool.”

— Britt, Commissioned a Birthday Gift


“If you are looking for that perfect ‘something’ to commemorate a special occasion, run to Breaking Egg! Miranda is a talented artist who creates from her soul. She’s easy to collaborate with, but it’s her uncanny ability to listen beyond your ideas, and then deliver so much more, that sets her apart. This was an effortless experience and I am so pleased with my illustration.”
