Elaine Miller
Elaine Miller is a Chicago-based artist known for her lush and colorful paintings that record and explore the mysteries of the natural world and our complex relationship with it. Long a devoted nature lover, her work documents the decline of forests and the wildlife it supports, especially in the face of the duel onslaught of climate change and overdevelopment. In her work as a scenic painter for film and TV, Elaine developed her large scale mural painting skills which led to an interest in public art works. She is a recent recipient of a City of Chicago DCASE grant to develop a series of billboards which displayed her paintings of the local forest preserve. Elaine continues to exhibit her paintings nationally and holds an MA from Kent State University and and MFA from Northern Illinois University.
