1960s Abstract Orange, Green, Blue, Black Collagraph NY Artist Myril Adler, c. 1960

Myril Adler, was born on September 22, 1920 in Vitebsk, Russia (now Belarus), and immigrated with her parents to the United States at age 3. An artist from birth, Myril also known as Milly (who was officially and mistakenly given the name Mildred at Ellis Island, a name she always hated), fought not to graduate from high school in Brooklyn before age 15, so that she could stay for one more year as a budding artist and continue to win art awards and recognitions. She went on to further her art studies at the Art Students League and the 92nd Street Y in New York, where she developed her own style, which evolved through many media platforms in her 80+ year career as an artist.
