Jeremiah Miller

Artist Bio

“I approach painting as an celebration of the spirit. The solitude of the landscape offers special sanctuary for me to explore subconscious attitudes about the land and my craft. I believe that through a genuinely unselfconscious act of painting, something new and self-revealing will emerge, something honest and natural that will also ultimately reveal an essential quality of the subject.”

Jeremiah Miller received a BFA from the Ringling College of Art & Design and a BFA & MFA from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He has served in the North Carolina Visiting Artist Program as Artist-in-Residence at Blue Ridge Community College in Flat Rock, NC and at Wilkes Community College in Wilkesboro, NC and as Artist-in-Residence in Camden, SC. In 2000 he served as Tennessee’s Millennium Artist-in-Residence for “Artists & Communities: America Creates for the Millennium.”

Jeremiah Miller lives in rural North Carolina in a home that he built himself deep in the woods. The subjects are his paintings are intimate depictions of his environment, the interiors and exteriors of his home and studio and the regional landscape that he loves to explore. His paintings evoke feelings of solitude and silence and tend to dissolve into abstraction.
