Miriam grew up in Toronto, Canada. She spent her formative years playing outdoors, developing a deep attachment to wild places. Her eye for detail and powers of observation grew from an early age. Although she showed a talent for art early on, Throughout the years she continued to draw, creating portraits and keeping nature journals. In 1986, Miriam moved to Missouri from Wisconsin. Continuing her passion for working outdoors, she gained employment as an outdoor educator at Shaw Nature Reserve of the Missouri Botanical Garden. Teaching children and adults about the natural world gave Miriam the opportunity to develop her artistic eye and gain a deep understanding and appreciation for the complexity of the natural world. After 20 years in the field of outdoor education, she returned to school to follow her dream of studying art. Miriam studied Fine Arts at St. Louis Community College at Meramec and Fontbonne University where she was inspired and encouraged by many excellent teachers.
