In 1979, a year before she graduated from the University of Bristol, the artist met Miles Richmond, an event which changed the course of her life and work.

She moved from her native Buckinghamshire to North Yorkshire, to live and work in East Rounton.

From 1983 to 1994, she taught in Summer Schools at the Motorhouse with David Seaton and Miles Richmond, and in 1994 moved to Middlesbrough where she has a studio.

During the 1990s she taught in adult education in Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough and North Yorkshire as well as running numerous private landscape and life-drawing classes. Alongside her art practice Miranda Richmond has run therapeutic art sessions with many client groups and worked from 2001–7 as a community and support worker with the North of England Refugee Service. She trained as an art therapist at the University of Sheffield from 1997–2000. Recent activities include running art sessions with the elderly and dementia sufferers..
