Collection: Miriam Traher

Miriam is an emerging self-taught artist known for her bold, layered work that evokes movement and joy. She grew up in Haliburton, roaming the lakes and hills, heading to Western Ontario to gain her HBA in business. She subsequently started Limited Edition, a clothing line incorporating original art by Linda Anne. Unfortunately, 911 ended their dreams, and she decided to focus on her kids and family, becoming their cheerleader, competitive basketball coach, and taxi driver and building and designing their dream home in Birr, Ontario. After retiring from a career in motherhood, after they all moved out,  she courageously followed her childhood dream to learn to paint, leading to the vibrant artistic journey she enjoys today. Miriam creates dynamic pieces rich in texture, spontaneous and organic in nature. She uses acrylics, mark-making tools, and collages, constantly exploring and wondering what “if” to discover her unique pieces. Her studio is a chaotic mix of papers and notes, becoming her work’s foundation. Her work is very present, a slice in time, with a world beyond the edges and experiences still to be had. Her art is represented in various galleries in Ontario and is collected worldwide.
