BIO
Jackie Milad (b. 1975, Baltimore, Maryland) received her BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in Boston, MA, and her MFA and a fellowship from Towson University, Baltimore, MD. She has received multiple awards, including the Creative Capital Award, the Ruby Artists Grant, the Municipal Art Society of Baltimore City Artist Travel Prize, and the Maryland State Arts Council Individual Artist Grant (2010, 2016). Milad’s mixed-media, abstract paintings and collages address the history and complexities of dispersed cultural heritage and multi-ethnic identity. As a first-generation Honduran-Egyptian-American, Milad utilizes her process-driven work to explore the layering of transcultural history in Central American and Middle Eastern architecture and iconography. Milad’s compositions mimic not only her own upbringing, but also symbolize the way cultures are recorded and monumentalized in remaining fragments over time.
She has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions nationally and internationally including at The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, MD; The Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, MD; Academy Art Museum Easton, MD; Weatherspoon Art Museum Greensboro, NC; The Mint Museum Charlotte, NC; Arthur Ross Gallery University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA; and Harvey B. Gantt Center, Charlotte, NC. Her work is included in several public collections, including, The Baltimore Museum of Art, Academy Art Museum, Johns Hopkins University Sheridan Library, Robert W. Deutsch Foundation, Pizzuti Collection and Meta Open Art Program. Milad lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland.
