Meet Marielos Miranda Dwyer

Born and raised in Costa Rica, Marielos is a talented artist with a rich background in visual arts. With degrees in Art and Communication Visual—including emphases in sculpture and printmaking—Marielos has dedicated her life to creating, teaching, and sharing art. She has worked as an independent artist, art educator, and workshop leader, inspiring creativity in her community through countless projects and exhibitions.

In 2023, Marielos brought her artistic vision to Johnson City, Texas, where she now plays an integral role at Reptilandia – Reptile Lagoon, adding beauty, creativity, and a personal touch to the facility. When she’s not working on her next masterpiece, you’ll likely find her tending to her garden, where she happily “rescues” plants to bring home.

Her passion for both art and nature aligns perfectly with Reptilandia's mission, making her a vital part of the team!
