Darcy Miro has always followed an independent course as a metals artist. Her work has straddled the line between sculpture, jewelry, glass, ceramics, fashion and functional objects, finding in the relationships fertile ground for exploration. Wherever, however, the material of metal could be used to make art within these disciplines, Miro has done it.

  She was invited to install her first show directly after graduation from RISD in 1996.  This exhibition was at an important contemporary art gallery in Detroit, the Susanne Hilberry Gallery, where Miro showed her jewelry alongside paintings by Yayoi Kusama. Shortly afterward, her work was exhibited in several of the leading contemporary jewelry galleries in the United States, Jewelerswerk, Susan Cummins Gallery, and Sienna Patti. Commissions followed in the fashion industry. Miro’s art found it’s way into many fashion publications like T Magazine, Vogue, Bazaar and W where the jewelry's large scale, punctured and collaged formats were understood as new and unique, yet wearable. Fashion collaborations including visits to the runway for Yigal Azrouel, followed. Over the decades since, the jewelry has been regularly exhibited in metals galleries and written about in books and journals about metal art.

   Working with architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, Miro created the small scale maquette which became the acclaimed facade of the American Folk Art Museum in New York City in 2001.  Though the Museum building is gone now, to the expansion of the Museum of Modern Art, MOMA kept the facade in its collection because of its importance. Miro continues to work with many notable architects including Diller Scofidio Renfro, Peter Marino and Will Bruder on site specific sculptures as well as functional objects like lighting, hardware, wallpaper and mirrors, for residential and commercial clients. Miro’s site specific installations can be seen in Dallas, New York City, Fisher Island, Shelter Island, East Hampton, Los Angeles, Prides Crossing Massachusetts, Waikiki, and Abu Dhabi. Miro has also worked with many notable interior designers-Kelly Wearstler, Emily Summers, and Amy Lau to name a few. Her jewelry is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Art and Design in New York City, The Museum of Fine Arts Boston, The Dallas Museum of Art, as well as many private collections.
