The Creative Middle Riot

Artist Miranda Thomas

March 07, 2023 • Miranda Thomas • Season 2 • Episode 4

On this episode of The Creative Middle Riot we interview Artist Miranda Thomas of Come Vibe With Me, LLC about the psychadelic art she used to create, the inspiration her mom gave her to launch into a creative career at the age of 17 and how she desires to connect with people on an artistic level.

Miranda Thomas has been busy creating artwork since a very young age, winning her first art competition at FAME in the 5th grade! Her artwork has been displayed at Art Link, Jefferson Pointe’s Pop Up Gallery, Studi07, Citizens Square, and FAME. You may have seen her hard at work at a local farmers market as well! In May of 2022, she started her own business, Come Vibe With Me LLC, which has been featured on Fox 55 news and Whatzup magazine. At age 17, while attending East Allen University, she formed and became president of the art club, she took part in designing and executing her first mural for the school. In July of 2022, she got her second chance at doing a mural for "Only Rain In The Drain" campaign, located on the corner of Hobson and East State. Among many of her accomplishments, she placed 3rd in the country for Art Links national poster competition for social justice in March 2022. In June of 2022 she graduated with her high school diploma, along with her associates in science from Vincennes University. Since then, she has received her certification in The Architectural Imagination from Harvard. She is attending Ivy Tech with plans to transfer to Purdue to receive her bachelors in graphic design/web design, with the long term goal to attend Ball State for architecture. We look forward to seeing more big things from this young creative entrepreneur!

The Creative Middle Riot podcast is dedicated to creative pioneers in the middle of the middle...the mighty Midwest of the US.

Here, in what may seem like the most unlikely of places, is the creative seedbed that is Fort Wayne, Indiana. It’s our hope that this little city with a lot of original talent can inspire creatives everywhere!

Every month, we interview some of the Fort’s most incredible artists, activists, entrepreneurs, spiritual provocateurs, and creative disrupters to remind anyone willing to listen that inspiration does not have an address. If we can do it here, you can do it anywhere. No excuses!
