**Miranda Meeks** is an American illustrator and digital artist.

Her work, mostly digital, has been described as "soft and detailed with a touch of mystery," "haunting atmosphere," and "a dark, haunting aesthetic".[1]

## Career

Meeks studied art and illustration at [Brigham Young University](/source/Brigham_Young_University) (BYU) and attributes some of her inspiration and style to [Alfred Hitchcock](/source/Alfred_Hitchcock) and [Chris Van Allsburg](/source/Chris_Van_Allsburg).[2] She explains her style, "Not only is my work defined by the subjects it portrays, but I try really hard to represent certain values and ideals in it. There’s this juxtaposition of beauty and strangeness that I find really intriguing and I’d love to help others who see my work to feel the same thing."[3]
