About the Artist About MiMi Stirn My early works began in the late 80’s, mainly sketches using coal and colored pencils. In 1996 I began working with oils and acrylics in a folk art style with subjects including animal miniatures, farms, flowers, trees, and field animals. I completed several murals during this time. In 2010, my husband and I moved to Cape Coral Florida from Washington State. I was inspired to change my artistic styling from folk art to abstract works with focus on ample, bold colors. The beautiful sunrise, sunsets, and of course, the cute burrowing owls, native to our area, opened the door rekindle my passion for painting and expand my art skills. Additional inspiration comes from years of traveling as a military brat and spouse. I have been blessed to see the beautiful landscapes and wildlife from growing-up in Guam, Louisiana, Germany, New Mexico, and Washington. See CV for more info
