Meet Our Artists!

Miriam (they/them)
Miriam Avital Levenson is a trans-disciplinary artist and craftsperson.
They create using an iterative process, refining and drawing out ideas in different mediums to thoroughly explore and pin down new ideas. Their art is whimsical and joyful, reflecting silly joys that pop up in the mundane. Their art parodies traditional concepts while blurring the (fake) lines between fine art and craft. They often return to themes of community, using the world around them as a mirror and springboard to design and fabricate new pieces. They prototype, design, and finish pieces by hand, by laser cutting, and with a myriad of other mediums.
They utilize traditional linoleum printing, screenprinting, and digital drafting, often combining mediums, or shifting an idea through mediums
to find the place where it becomes more than what it was.They are anti capitalism, anti establishment, and pro creating art that brings radical love and kindness into peoples lives.
