Maggi Miller earned a Signature Membership from the prestigious National Collage Society, allowing her to add "NCS" to her work signatures.

She studied art at the University of Texas, Arlington, to learn how to teach art and art history to high school students.  Her path after college took her a different route, but her interest in art remained. She became curious about the process of papermaking as an art, and that led her to take a class with internationally renowned paper artist Priscilla Robinson. The experience revived her enthusiasm about the elements of art, especially color and texture. She saw her first stack of paper as an exciting medium for creating pictures without using a pencil or paintbrush.

Maggi has been using handmade and found paper to create pictures and collages. She has shown her work in venues ranging from Austin’s Hyde Park Bar & Grill to galleries in Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio Washington, and New York. Her work has been recognized with a Merit Award by the Texas Visual Arts Association, and with an Honorable Mention in the Austin Art Boards competition and by the Society of Washington Artists.

She wrote and illustrated a children’s book, The Baby Who Wouldn’t Say Mama, and her pictures have been included in a collection of literary essays, Awakened by Surprise, by Robert Bonazzi.
