Collection: Miriam Lilje

Miriam Lilje is a New Orleans-based mixed-media artist. Her paintings incorporate acrylic, oil, and watercolor paints, as well as gouache, oil pastels, pencils, and fabrics; her vast body of work depicts abstracted landscapes, pastoral vistas, and disrupted urban details. Lilje was raised in Germany, receiving her Masters’ Degree in Art History and French Literature from the University of Hamburg before relocating to New Orleans in 2008. While working as an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Art History at Tulane University, Lilje founded Atelier Mimi, a workshop and teaching studio that serves and guides artists of all ages in New Orleans. When she is not making or teaching art, Miriam enjoys playing the violin and piano, listening to classical music, and exploring nature.
