MIRANDA MONCREIFFE

Dancing with Light 24 MAY - 15 JUNE 2024

Gallery opening times Monday - Friday 12:00 - 6:00 PM Weekend by appointment only

Dancing with Light is Miranda Moncreiffe’s second show with CCA Galleries International. This exhibition spans a 12-year period from 2012 when she first moved into her studio in St. Helier until today.

This period also reflects a time of travel; Morocco, South of France, Maldives, Mustique, Spain, Venice, Italy, Barbados and Scotland. The works selected for the exhibition form a personal journey and reflect the places visited by the artist; in each place Moncreiffe is captivated by the light, from the dark purple shadows of Scotland to the intense midday sun of Morocco.

Moncreiffe often works outside with a palette and materials limited by the need to carry them through forests, countryside, coastlines or mountains; these limitations can result in unusual techniques and localised materials such as olive oil or sea water, becoming part of the work. On other outings Moncreiffe will fill a sketchbook with watercolour paintings to quickly capture the dancing shapes, energy and colours that she observes to bring back to the studio to work from later. These painting outings might also involve the whole family painting together immersed in nature.

Moncreiffe’s paintings are an expression of the joy she finds in the beautiful creation we our living amongst. The joy of being alive in this world.

Born Miranda Fox-Pitt in 1968, in Perth Scotland, Miranda Moncreiffe is an artist based between Scotland and Jersey. Raised in Scotland within a family of artists, her mother is a fellow of the Royal Society of Scottish Sculptors and her sister, husband, and children are also artists. The youngest of three children, Miranda followed the family tradition and went to study art at Edinburgh College of Art in 1987. Moving to London with a young family, she enrolled with the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA) to study experimental printmaking. She has exhibited in Scotland, London, and Jersey.

Her work has featured at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh as well as the Cyril Gerber Fine Art Gallery in Glasgow.
