Teaches at Prema Yoga Institute

Reuben Lorch-Miller is a multi-disciplinary artist and educator with an MFA in New Genres from San Francisco State University. He approaches his own work from a perspective of experimentation, understanding that meaning can be often found within the process of doing. As a teacher, he works to be a responsive guide, creating space for trying new things and loosening the obstacles to creativity. He emphasizes cultivating curiosity, finding joy in the unexpected and constructive reflection. His goal is to help his students develop acuity over mechanical mastery. Art making can be an experiential practice that can lead to deeper understanding of the world around us, our selves, others. For the past five years, he has been an active teaching artist with the Guggenheim Museum’s Learning Through Art program, The Studio Museum in Harlem, the New York City Public Schools though Studio in a School, Eckford Street Studio and Usdan Summer Camp for the Arts. He has also worked with adults, as a visiting artist and lecturer at Illinois State University (Normal), Rhode Island School of Design, Stanford University, San Francisco Art Institute and Pratt Institute. Lorch-Miller has participated in multiple artist residencies and exhibited widely both nationally and internationally.
