                       Koller has been creating art for a number of years. After discovering 
                       the joy of creating art while earning humanities credits towards 
                       her bachelors degree in sociology, she went on to pursue her new 
                       found love (art) at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago 
                       and later to earn her MFA at the University of Illinois at Chicago. 
                       For a number of years, Koller's primary source of artistic creation 
                       was performance for which she earned a bit of local notoriety while 
                       living in Chicago and later in Albany. For the past few years, 
                       she had been creating mixed media works on paper. Her process is 
                       time intensive. The work is created in layers with each one requiring 
                       drying time. However, these layers are each made rapidly with a 
                       large variety of materials. This method of working has an interesting 
                       rhythm much like a thunderstorm with periods of silence in between 
                     the loud claps.
