Mirjam Felder was born in Basle, Switzerland, and moved to a small village in Tuscany, where her passion for art re-emerged, in 2002.

The four elements – earth, water, air, and fire – play a vital role in her paintings, which are mainly acrylics on canvas. Mirjam Felder is inspired by nature and natural materials like clay, wood, and fiber. She paints using wood panels and palm bark as canvas too.
