Teaching

Making and doing compelled Miriam; process was more important than the outcome. Materials drove the process as much as the artist’s conception of the piece. Discovering new materials (clay from the ground, mushrooms along the trail) and manipulating them to build something out of nothing (a child’s head, a bowl) was at the heart of her practice. Sharing this with others and guiding them to free their own creative spirit was a lifelong passion.
