Art for people who still get excited about fireflies and dogwood blossoms against a sky that feels like anything is possible.

A Little About Me.

  • Hello!

    I'm Miranda, the painter behind Stella & Dorrie Studio. The studio is named after Stella the cat and Dorrie the dog, longtime companions and emotional support specialists.

    I'm the one doing the drawing, painting, packing, and making a glorious mess behind the scenes.

    More About Miranda 
  • A gentle yet expressive gouache painting of a rabbit mid-bound, caught in motion across a softly toned, dreamlike landscape. The colors are muted and earthy, with a sense of momentum and lightness. The composition suggests trust, instinct, and the brave moment of leaping forward—before knowing how the landing will feel.

    Who This is For

    Who This Is For

    This is for people whose world is loud and hard right now — which, some days, is everyone I know. If a small painting can be an anchor when things feel unsteady, that's what I'm making it for.

    If that sounds like you, you're already in the right place.
