MIKE MILLER | Art as investigation

Welcome to Mike Miller

These paintings primarily comprise two collections: family images are based on old photographs, many taken in Williamstown, New Jersey in the 1950s and others in Pennsylvania in the 70s and 80s.

Images from China reflect my brief stay in that country to study Chinese law, and tend toward the gently comedic.

I’m a Philadelphian, and I find my focus shifting toward Paulownia trees blooming purple along Regional Rail line, the Schuylkill just down the block from me, and Market Street, and 30th Street Station, and the Parkway when it celebrates. I think Atlantic City, too. It’s all my territory.

Please enjoy.

Featured image: Activist, 14″ by 18″ oil on canvas. I met her working a Center City corner one scorching July 4th and she graciously agreed to pose for me.
