Artist Bio
Emily Miller began her journey as an artist by spending Sunday afternoons watching Bob Ross with her father, the late Barry Miller. This led to her receiving her B.A. in Studio Art in 2010 at Davidson College, and she subsequently studied graphic design at BCTC in Lexington, KY. Miller developed her craft producing promotional materials for her musician friends and local businesses. In 2013, Miller first visited Latitude Arts, a Lexington art studio, alongside fellow musicians to play music for the artists as they worked on their projects. She later took a job there supporting artists to reach their art goals, and continued on this career path when she moved to Louisville in 2019. Currently, she works at Mattingly Edge as an employment specialist supporting students with pre-vocational skills.
Miller is equally in her element live-painting with acrylics and clippings from National Geographic at music festivals as she is tinkering with photo files and blend modes in Adobe Photoshop. Her work is characterized by digital and traditional painting and collaging techniques implemented to create scenery that tells a story through symbolism.
