    19: A conversation with Miriam Schaer
    Jul 28 2021
    "...no one in my family were artists per se but everybody made things. And we would all make projects.  My mother would get very enthusiastic...my mom made a lot of clothing...she taught me how to embroider, and that is something that I have still included and carry on in my work, I love that it's so portable... "
    -Miriam Schaer

    Miriam Schaer is a master of improv.

    Schaer lives a life in service to art and friendship. Her work incorporates printmaking, bookmaking, dolls, and, more recently, knitting.
    Pivoting is how Schaer has worked as an independent artist -  often diving into the unknown and creating what she calls "lucky breaks."

    But I am convinced that because Schaer was willing to take risks, and trust that all would work out....it has.

    I met Schaer when she was a keynote speaker at the Kutztown Art Education conference way back in November 2013. After her lecture, I ran to the lectern to meet her. We've been in touch, on and off, ever since...

     
    Discover Schaer's provocative embroidered work...

    I connected to Schaer's Babies (Not) On Board: The Last Prejudice?
    a series that explores the experiences of married women who do not have children.

    Schaer's embroidery skills shine in these pieces that reveal how the product of women's loins
    often overshadows any of their intellectual or artistic achievements.

    Many of the most accomplished women -  Virginia Woolf included -
    had to deal with why they didn't have kids - a society blinded to their artistic genius!

    Schaer has dealt with "childlessness" since her marriage.
    She took what could've become bitterness or anger - and transformed it into a provocative, sublime art.

    What astounds me is how people sometimes don't think at all about a couple's particular circumstances regarding
    having/not having children... it's a choice, or it's a painful physical reality that denies them
    fertility.

     
    In this episode, we discuss:

    • her transition from musician to visual artist
    • how her high school guidance counselor tried to derail her art career
    • how her relationship with NYC's Center for Book Arts has been central to her evolution
    • the importance of mentoring her students, both art and non-art majors
     

    Join Miriam Schaer and me as we talk about her life, family - and her improv way of life...

    " Weaving is just my soul, you know."
    - Christine Miller

     

    For Christine Miller, weaving is a mystery.

    Miller took a continuing education class at the University of Texas Austin. It was a weaving class. Because of that experience, she changed her major to art to learn about design.

    There she overcame her childhood art block and dove headfirst Into weaving.

     What attracted Miller to weaving is its mystery. As she says, you never know the end result, no matter how much planning.

    Her full-time life as a professional artist complimented her classroom experience. Eager to bring fiber to the K - 12 classroom, Miller will for traditional studio practices with her textile processes that she taught her students.

    To this end, her website, explorefiber.com, helps bring fiber arts to the masses.

    Miller and I met in 2011 during a Surface Design Association conference. She was one of ten K - 12 are teachers who won a full scholarship to attend.

     As she put it: “My conference experience was the most fabulous conference ever in my life!”

    Since the pandemic, Miller teaches leaving with wire online continuing her evolution as an artist and art teacher—-and sharing her soul’s passion with others across the globe
