Welcome to Mike Miller

The paintings currently posted here are based on old photographs. I’m obsessed with people deliberately posing for the camera, for one thing. But more to the point, they represent my attempt to use the act of painting to physically examine a subject. This is how everyone paints, of course, and how I’ve always painted – using a brush to explore and discover, to learn to see. Right now, particularly when looking back, I’m leaning hard on the interactive aspect of art as a means to understanding.   

Please enjoy.
