Cheryl Miller - Finding Inspiration: An Artful Journey
www.cherylzmillerart.com
Cheryl Miller is a fiber artist who creates fabric collages using hand dyed cottons, batiks, vintage fabrics and paper that are stitched by machine. Her work incorporates an eclectic mix of old and new, traditional and contemporary elements. She finds inspiration for her pieces from medieval tapestries, the work of French Barbizon and Impressionist painters and Andy Warhol, as well as daily walks with her dog, music and happenstance. In her presentation, Cheryl will discuss the art history of collages and explain the techniques she uses.
Cheryl exhibits her work mostly in New England. She has a BA in Art History from Hope College, where she also studied studio art. She was a plein air oil painter for many years and learned traditional quilt making when she moved to New Hampshire in 1996. She still occasionally paints or makes a quilt by hand. She grew up in Columbus, OH and currently lives in Mont Vernon, NH. Cheryl is a juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and the NH Art Association.
