Miriam's creative and media work is drawn from and layered with influences from; her archaeology and history background; a keen interest in folklore, music, film, culture, travel, social history and politics; and on the other side of the coin, her former life as a fashion model, globetrotting from fashion capital to glamorous location. She likes a good ferret around into the past, and a good shoe.
