bio
Naomi Miller is an artist with a background in photography whose abiding interest lies within her social interactions with her friends and family members. She believes these discussions, shared experiences and emotions, and inevitable conflicts measure her engagement with the world. Her recent projects formalize this interest by creating platforms that solicit a broader, public engagement: The Work Office (TWO), in collaboration with Katarina Jerinic, is a WPA-inspired employment agency for artists, and Iron Maiden Artists Tours is an experiential collaboration with other artists in which her 1978 Volvo station wagon is used to host events and discourse.
She has been a resident at both The MacDowell Colony and The Wassaic Project, a participant in LMCCs Swing Space Program, a local inbound resident with apexart, and a recipient of a Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC) grant. Her photography has been included in recent exhibitions at The Wassaic Festival, NY; Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, PA; the Bronx River Art Center, Bronx, NY; Homestead Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; Royal Nonesuch Gallery, Oakland, CA; Steven Wolf Fine Arts, San Francisco, CA; and Printed Matter, New York, NY. The Work Office (TWO) was produced in Times Square, New York in October 2011 with support by the Times Square Alliance, and was included in the "Shifting Communities" exhibition series at the Bronx River Arts Center, JanuaryFebruary 2012.
Naomi received her BA in English and studio art at Clark University, Worcester, MA in 1996 and graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2004 with a MFA in photography. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
