About The Artist
Mia van Wyk is a fine artist and was born in 1979 in Johannesburg and is based in Centurion. She has
been creating art since childhood. Art mediums include oil paint on canvas and photography to create
reference for artworks. Mia received training at The Open Window Art Academy and earned a three-
year diploma in Visual Communication Design (Cum Laude) in 2000.
Since completing her studies Mia has exhibited in group exhibitions and had three solo exhibitions in
galleries such as The Pretoria Art Association, Art Lovers 1932 Gallery and Artbox Gallery. She was a
featured artist in the South African Artist magazine Issue 55.
Mia has a keen interest in the conservation of eco-systems and is inspired by nature and the natural
world. Her realistic oil paintings reveal, record, celebrate and honor animals, plants, birds and insects
and reflects on the balance between humans and nature.
