She received a faculty Honors Award, the Martin Streich Emeritus Scholarship, and the Susan Wood Memorial Scholarship.
Following graduation, Myre moved to New York to work as a studio assistant for American painter and printmaker Pat Steir, who also is the founding board member of Printed Matter bookshop and Heresies magazine.
