View details of Miriam Pinkerton's upcoming Encaustic (Beeswax) Workshop

Miriam Pinkerton’s paintings are impressionistic landscapes, florals, and abstract form of nature. Her colors are

rich and vibrant, yet there remains a sensitivity in her work.

Miriam has had a lifetime interest in the arts and works in watercolor, acrylic, collage and pastels. Finding

stimulation in exploring new materials and techniques, she has studied under such noted instructors as Don

Andrews, Mary Alice Braukman, Marilyn H. Phillis, Mary T. Beam, Carrie B. Brown and Susan Ogilvie.

Ms. Pinkerton’s work has appeared in exhibitions, galleries, public and private collections. Her paintings are

currently being shown at Franklin Square Gallery, Southport, NC, Sunset River Marketplace, Calabash, NC,

Ricky Evans Gallery, Southport, NC, and Murray’s Gallery, Leland, NC. Miriam is an active member

of the Associated Artists of Southport, Wilmington Art Association and Oak Island Art Guild. She has

been awarded signature membership in the Southern Watercolor Society and the Watercolor Society of North

Carolina.
