Miller has worked as an artist for most of her life, crediting her aunt Dora for encouraging her to pursue fiber arts.[1] After over thirty years working as a weaver, during which she founded the Hartford Artisan Center, she was invited to submit to an exhibition.[1]Carolyn Mazloomi, founder of the Women of Color Quilters Network, encouraged her to continue quilting, which took her art in a new direction.[1]
Artistic practice
Miller has shared that “[j]azz gets [her] into the flow. I am making music with my colors,” which reflects the improvisational nature of her work.[3]
Exhibitions
Miller’s work “Sit-in” was featured in the “Subversive, Skilled, Sublime: Fiber Art by Women” exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum from May 31, 2024, through January 5, 2025. Her machine-quilted work “Rites of Passage II”[2] is in the permanent collection. It uses indigo dye and features batik, silk, and shells.
