Staff Highlight: Anna Clair Miller, Visitor Services

Anna Clair has been BRAHM’s Visitor Services Coordinator since 2017. Stationed at the front desk, she is the first person one sees upon entry to the museum and the person graciously bidding adieu when leaving. While Anna Clair is very sweet and friendly, her introduction goes well beyond an amiable welcome. She thoughtfully sets the visitor up to have the most impactful museum experience. She can answer just about any BRAHM-related question and frequently gives general area information to newcomers.

For this week’s weekly artist inspiration, we are looking at artist Georgia O’Keeffe. She grew up in Wisconsin and then lived in New York and New Mexico. She is most famous for her large paintings of flowers and skulls. She enlarges (makes it big), crops (zooms in and goes off the paper), and abstracts (makes it look different than in real life).
