Claire Miller

Claire grew up in Minnesota where she primarily studied at the Atelier Studio Program of Fine Art in Minneapolis. She then obtained a Bachelors degree in Fine Art from Laguna College of Art and Design in Southern California. Today, Claire is a full-time Artist, teaching, and painting. 

I am a representational oil painter and my work is about what I find interesting or beautiful. I primarily paint from life. I paint en Plein air, still lifes, figures, and portraits. I am always trying to understand why objects, places, and people, are beautiful, and to paint that. Painting can often times put me in a meditative state, and while I’m in the studio or out in nature, I reflect on how still and peaceful some moments can be and I believe that it shows in my work.
