Born and raised in New Haven, Connecticut, Miriam Barer Tamsky received her BFA in painting from the Yale School of Fine Arts. While still a student there, her painting “Railway Station,” an egg tempera on board, was selected for the “Portrait of America” exhibit, first shown at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, then touring nationwide. Miriam was part of the egg tempera tradition at Yale. She learned and practiced this rigorous technique which involved preparing the paint from raw egg yolk and pure pigment, and carefully planning each color layer. Her work has been shown in New Haven, Jackson, MS, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Audubon Artists in NY, the Artists Equity in Philadelphia, the Albany Institute of Art, and the Boston Society of Independent Artists.
After raising their four children in New Haven, Miriam and her husband Joe moved to the Cape in 1988. She continues to paint in her home studio and outdoors, and finds watercolor to be her favorite medium, creating landscape and still life compositions. Miriam is a member of both the Guild of Harwich Artists and the Creative Arts Center in Chatham, where she has received numerous awards.
