Miranda Howe grew up in the southern most region of the Rocky Mountains in Capitan, New Mexico where she has come full circle in establishing her studio on the property where she was raised. She comes from a family of artists and was always nurtured and encouraged in her own artistic endeavors.

Her undergraduate work was done in Lubbock, Texas where she received her BFA in Studio Ceramics in 1995 from Texas Tech University. Ceramics was the foundation of her education, but she extensively explored many other areas of the visual arts. She has taught drawing, printmaking, and mixed-media courses to all ages at the Roswell Museum and Art Center as well as instructing in the local high schools as a visiting artist.

Her increasing wanderlust, and desire to learn more about different printmaking processes, led her to a study abroad program through the Aegean Center for the Fine Arts, based in Italy and Greece. She began her graduate work in Printmaking at Montana State University, but returned to Ceramics as her main emphasis of study, graduating with her MFA in 2001.

Miranda was a resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts in Helena, Montana from 2004 to 2006. In the Spring of 2007, she taught ceramics at New Mexico State University and then went on to complete a ceramic residency at the LH Project in Joseph, Oregon. Miranda’s travels, geologic interests, and the graphic nature of printmaking, continue to influence both her functional and sculptural ceramic work.
