Miler Bio

Jeffrey Miller grew up in small-town Campbellsville, Kentucky, a typical child except for an oversized imagination and an unrelenting curiosity. Miller studied art at Campbellsville University and Murray State University, and he now creates in varied medium and form included oil, acrylic, charcoal and ink sketches, printmaking, and digital art. An award-winning multimedia artist, Miller served as an educator for the Lexington Library Adult Education Program for four years. He presently resides in Columbia, South Carolina.

Miller Statement

Being a good painter or good in whatever chosen medium is a technical evaluation—creativity is something more. People ask what I was thinking when I did this piece or that piece. The only answer is my thinking was absorbed in the piece I'm working on at the time. Anything else is an afterthought. I usually work from a fleeting mental image in response to something I've seen, heard, or read. The mental image may or may not come immediately but it always comes in the same way, like a light brush across the cheek or a fast. There is an ebb and flow, a push and pull, a transitoriness about life that must be reflected in one's art if that art is about life. The imagery, ideas, and concepts are a reflection of day-to-day life, which I personally tend to express through humor, audacity, absurdity, and juxtaposition. I was once told by someone that they did not know if they liked my work because I wasn't doing what everybody else was doing. I have never before been so complimented.
