Curate Bonus Material: Miriam Riggs

The Curate 757 series explores the thriving art scene in Hampton Roads. Each week, the program features an area artist. Each person works in a different medium - from painting, to sculpture and photography, to the spoken word. Each episode originally aired as a part of the parent “Curate” series, which also offers profiles of national artists.

Artist Miriam Riggs explores the evolving relationship between humans and nature in coastal environments. Through evocative paintings and large-scale floor cloths, she documents shifting ecosystems, rising salinity, and the resilience of local wildlife. Riggs’s work, deeply rooted in observation and personal experience, urges us to see—and adapt to—nature’s changing rhythms.
