Miriam Bankier grew up in Vienna, Austria, speaking German, Italian, and French, and immigrated to Boston, Massachusetts when she was young. She obtained her Bachelor of Arts with a double major in studio art and legal studies from Scripps College in 2020. During her time at Scripps, her practice was grounded in memory and identity. When she’s not in the printmaking studio, you can find her browsing through art museums. Miriam hopes to continue to pursue her passion for communities and art beyond Scripps at RISD (Rhode Island School of Art and Design) this coming Fall, where she will be earning a Masters of Art Education.
