Miriam Schapiro co-founded the Feminist Art education program in 1970 at the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles, California.
She is a pioneer of feminist art and is a part of the Pattern and Decoration art movement, which consists of bold colors and on occasion include suggestive floral patterns.
Ms. Schapiro became a successful artist during the 1950’s and 1960’s as a hard edge style abstract expressionist. During the 1970’s she radically changed her style of art to collage combining patterns and painting, which Miriam Schapiro calls “femmages”. In 1972 she also participated in the Womanhouse exhibition.
The College of Art Association awarded her with the distinguished artist award for lifetime achievement.
