Miranda Byk was born in 1994 in Ventura, CA, and lives in Los Angeles, CA. She received her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in San Francisco, CA (2017).

In her work, Miranda Byk creates dream-like vignettes that are both haunting and immersive. Her practice explores deeply personal narratives, drawing from her dreams, traumas, and anxieties. Byk often paints references from her childhood inspired by her familial relationships and early ideas. Her work uses nature — including plants, dew drops, and fauna — as common motifs that explore themes ranging from the passage of time to the transience of existence.
