Debbie Miller

A Rhode Island native, I earned a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design. Since then I’ve worked as a freelance artist, decorative painter, teacher and master painter at a folk art company. In 2006 I made the transition back to painting full time. I’m fascinated with the human form and the way a thought or feeling is suggested in a stance or look. I have a skill and passion for portraiture and paint regularly from a live model which strengthens all my paintings. Water and swimming are constants in my life. And while I may paint from a place of remembered experience, these paintings are stories told in gesture, palette, and posture of the subject. They are meant to invite the memories, dreams and feelings of you, the viewer.
