Mira Fink specializes in art inspired by nature. She is well known regionally for her richly colored watercolor landscapes which capture the beauty of the Hudson Valley. She can be found painting “en plein air” from the banks of the Hudson River to the rocky cliffs on the Shawangunk Ridge. She also works from sketches and photos in her studio in Kingston, N.Y.

Mira started her career studying the natural world and received her BS degree in Environmental and Forest Biology from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. She then went on to work as an environmental educator teaching children and adults about the wonders of the natural world.

Mira started her serious study of watercolor and oils after receiving several scholarships to study at the Woodstock School of Art. In 1988 she was accepted into the Jane Burr House for artists in Woodstock, N.Y. That same year one of her paintings was selected for a juried exhibition with the Hudson River Watercolor Society. Her work has been exhibited in solo and juried shows locally and regionally ever since. Mira’s studies continued at the Institute of Ecosystem Studies where she studied botanical illustration. She then earned a BFA in painting and a MS in Education from SUNY New Paltz and became a certified art teacher.
