TOE Exclusive :: Mia Pearlman Interview
I don’t remember a time before I was interested in art.
Where were you born and where do you live now?
I am a born and bred New Yorker, resident of Fort Greene, Brooklyn and a die-hard Mets fan.
Tell us about your education.
I realized I was an artist at age 12 when I had to choose where I wanted to go to high school. It was clear to me that the one constant interest in my life had always been drawing (while wanting to be a ballerina, scientist, etc) and that it probably would be forever. Luckily, I got into LaGuardia High School (otherwise known as the “Fame” school) where I majored in studio art, after an interview, 3-hour drawing test and portfolio review. After that I went to Cornell University where I nominally majored in Painting but made a series of interactive sculptures for my BFA thesis. Both were incredible experiences, as much for the exposure to my peers as the education they offered.
