After 25 years living in London, Miranda Housden moved to Cornwall in 2016. She lives and works on the Tamar Estuary at Torpoint.

Formerly the London Director for the Royal Institute of British Architects, she is currently the South West Director for the Institution of Civil Engineers, and co-founder of the South West Infrastructure Partnership. She has curated several cross-disciplinary exhibitions with artists, architects and engineers.

During the 1980s, Miranda studied Fine Art at Falmouth School of Art. Subsequently she was selected for her first solo show at the Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol by curator Frances Morris CBE. She went on to study for an MA in Fine Art at Chelsea School of Art, where she was awarded a Rome Scholarship at the British School at Rome. This was followed by a year living in the Czech Republic, where the British Council funded a solo exhibition of her work in Prague.

Her most recent solo exhibition, Players, took place in the Old Morgue, Plymouth in 2023.

She continues to exhibit widely, not only in the UK but internationally.
