Life in the Refuges "Sanctuary" on left, represents the artist's personal space for reflection and creativity, and is designed to look like a cross between a miniature hunting camp and a greenhouse. Tapestries on the right, entitled "Twilight and the Dance of Trees", were painted from scenes found in Henderson Swamp and Big Branch Marsh. Depicting trees interacting with their environment, the delicately painted tapestries bring to mind the timeless connection between living things, the sun and moon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55099d97e4b069ddb0e18b86/1474560819740-GZ3MWGYPGJH0SVHL9NZM/kaplan_twilightinstall.jpg The Dance of Trees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55099d97e4b069ddb0e18b86/1499952580040-LG9CMGJO5OD4OOQR3OCM/kaplan_littlelandscapes.jpg The Dance of Trees - Painting from Observation These paintings are a selection of works the artist created while documenting her home throughout different times of year. As she learned about nature through understanding her childhood home in the wetlands, she also learned about nature's process, transformation, and renewal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55099d97e4b069ddb0e18b86/1474506833622-1HJNUTVLYVW1CE0I1QOM/208114_10150258328475200_2514660_n.jpg The Dance of Trees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55099d97e4b069ddb0e18b86/1474591245018-JHRKYF9MDZMNNO7XSWXY/kaplan_pleinairpaintings_large.jpg The Dance of Trees - Revolving Palettes While these paintings were done within 50 miles each other, the varying palettes are affected by what time of year the scene was painted, and at what time of day the artist was painting. Summer, for instance, brings heavily saturated colors, whereas winter makes for a more sparse, cool palette. One might notice there are burn piles and smoke clouds painted in the distance. Burning of the marshes used to occur naturally, and is now controlled by people. While people and animals do not appear in Kaplan's work, the effects of their presence is sometimes documented. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55099d97e4b069ddb0e18b86/1499952768443-CLUCNXOOJN4W35FFBHI4/kaplan_insidetwilighthouse.jpg The Dance of Trees - The Artist's Nest Inside the artist's "Sanctuary", there are numerous journals documenting wildflowers and yellow steno pads that chronicle the artist's daily activities and thoughts. Works in progress, vulnerable works, the artist's painting hat, and paint palettes create a miniature version of her Lacombe studio. An old cardinal's nest sits on the windowsill of the sanctuary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55099d97e4b069ddb0e18b86/1474594472690-XOCI8DXGY9B48LXBAU9Z/kaplan_makingsofmemory3.jpg The Dance of Trees - Viewing from Above Seeing these works from the overlook creates the same feeling as looking out at the marsh. While so much can be seen from the ground, seeing it from above allows the viewer a place of advantage and safety. Here you will also find the many markings of visitors to the exhibition, sometimes carved and sometimes written or drawn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55099d97e4b069ddb0e18b86/1499952699488-93PD51JZWRRWMHK6WSQU/kaplan_makingsofmemory2.jpg The Dance of Trees - Meanwhile, On The Ground The artist created these wooden sculptures as a way to place works throughout the woods near her house, as an impromptu sculpture park for those who traveled through the woods on four-wheelers. Each surface is painted with a local landscape, and while her work is certainly inspired by Louisiana rural life, her sculptural distillations of landscape appear like surreal shadow forms painted with electric colors. These works are playful, but are large enough to confront a viewer. From living outdoors, the forms begin to warp and deteriorate, bringing the artist's rural aesthetic into play. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55099d97e4b069ddb0e18b86/1499965884521-NK5ZCQKHSC0Y5V5Z5IHD/kaplan_danceoftreesweb.jpg The Dance of Trees - Twilight and the Dance of Trees These delicately painted tapestries are certainly driven by the artist's natural gravitation toward graphic symbolism, her connection to the landscape of Southeast Louisiana, and her study of the behavior of trees.

Raised on the North Shore of Louisiana, she spent over twenty years working as a freelance painter and sculptor, exploring landscape and botanical abstraction rooted in the marshes, swamps, pine forests, and bayous of her childhood. Her early art practice was not only about form and color, but about curiosity — observing the natural world, asking questions about why things are the way they are, and narrating place through visual means. That curiosity led her into roles as art gallery director, exhibition designer, and curator — positions that deepened her understanding of storytelling, materials, and how creative works communicate. But her artist’s impulse for scale and form evolved. Working on large steel outdoor sculptures, she began to see architecture as an opportunity to build with those same instincts: rhythm, light, mass, and texture — combining spatial design with narrative. This led her to pursue formal architecture training. Mia earned dual master’s degrees in Architecture and Preservation Studies from Tulane University, aligning her artistic background with rigorous academic and technical training. She became licensed as an architect in Louisiana, with credentials in historic architecture and architectural history. Her practice, Mia Kaplan Studio (MKS), is rooted in the belief that great design begins where nature, history, and people interweave. Today, her work includes historic preservation, adaptive reuse, condition assessments, national register nominations, and exhibition design — every project informed by her artist’s perspective and her preservation sensibility. Whether sketching botanical forms, curating exhibitions, or detailing a restoration, Mia draws on decades of arts practice to inform her architecture — seeing each building as a collaborative sculpture shaped by culture, ecology, and time. With over 27 years of experience in team leadership, creative production, project management, and design direction, Mia remains at the helm of MKS as an interdisciplinary practice. Outside of work, she loves being involved in community service as a member of the Rotary Club of Slidell Northshore. https://miakaplan.com/contact-mks daily 0.75 2025-09-30 https://miakaplan.com/services daily 0.75 2025-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55099d97e4b069ddb0e18b86/88a091db-bd0e-469d-a6b3-ca8f889866f5/Bechac+Marigny+Restaurant_Mandeville.jpg SERVICES - Make it stand out Flood Adaptation Schematic Design for the Bechac-Marigny Building, located in Historic Mandeville, Louisiana. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55099d97e4b069ddb0e18b86/7bb4b9ea-475f-49f0-8bd6-711c4338eee5/St.+James_progress+2.jpg SERVICES - Your local architect, and more.
