Mia Rivers
Mia Rivers is an artist and writer whose work explores silence, inheritance, and the stories that shape us long before we understand them. Working across painting and prose, she is drawn to what lingers beneath the surface—memory, restraint, resilience, and the quiet forces that leave lasting marks.
Her paintings and writing exist in conversation with one another. Each is a way of listening. Each is a way of telling.
Through charcoal, pigment, and language, Rivers examines what is buried, what is protected, and what inevitably rises. Her work resists spectacle in favor of tension, atmosphere, and emotional truth—inviting the viewer or reader to slow down and sit with what remains.
She lives and works in the American Southwest.
Mia Rivers is the pen name of a Texas-based writer and publisher. She is the owner and publisher of Lake Granbury Living Magazine. Her family has lived in New Mexico for thirteen generations on both sides, and her great-great-grandfather, Captain Saturnino Baca, was a respected civic leader who sponsored the legislation that established Lincoln County in the 1860s.
