Mia Bergeron is an award winning painter who has shown her layered, imaginative painting across the United States for the past two decades. After studying art at Harvard Extension School and Rhode Island School of Design, Mia went on to study classical painting at the Charles H Cecil Studio in Florence, Italy. From this foundation, Mia has developed her painting style to explore imagery that oscillates between the fictitious and the observed. In January 2022, her painting “Tranquil Ghosts “ was the American Art Collector Magazine’s cover image. Her work is represented by Robert Lang Studios in Charleston, SC, and by Gallery 1261 in Denver, CO. Mia brings her 18 years of teaching experience at various universities, private schools, and ateliers to the AAN as a fully funded Artist in Residence with her husband John McCleod.
