Martina Topley Bird by Miri in Salford

Hi, I’m Miri a mural artist just getting started, but painting like I’ve been waiting my whole life to do this. For me, murals aren’t just art on walls — they’re stories, emotions, and energy brought to life in the open, where everyone can feel them. I started small — doodles in notebooks, ideas scribbled at 2 a.m., and lots of wondering if I could actually turn my love for art into something real. Now, I’m out there with paint on my hands and walls as my canvas, trying to make spaces more vibrant, more thoughtful, and more alive. My work is inspired by the people around me, the struggles and joys we all share, and the little moments that often get overlooked. I want my murals to make people stop, look, and feel something — whether that’s hope, connection, or just a spark of curiosity. I’m still learning, still growing, and still figuring out my voice through colour and shape. But every mural is a step forward — and I can’t wait to see where this path leads. I also enjoy painting portraits using oil paints and watercolour, so don't hesitate to contact me.
