Hello! Welcome to my world.
I am Sharla Miller-Baer, a figurative artist based in beautiful Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I’ve loved art and the process of creating art ever since I was a child. In my adulthood, my art became a conduit for storytelling as I navigated leaving the Mennonite culture. My experience growing up Mennonite led me to begin The Hope Collection, an informative and emotive series of paintings on grief, loss of community, the objectification of women, sexual assault, dissociation, body dysmorphia, and depression. When I am not working on my Hope Collection, I am creating whimsical, figurative pieces inspired by my life in the northern wilderness. Creating art has become a lovely way to rediscover myself and my place in the world. In a world where there is so much ugliness, I hope to leave beauty. Welcome to the journey!
