She has painted plein air on both coasts as well as in Scotland, but her primary motif is the jaunty country life of rural Knox County Ohio. Currently, Miller enters several plein air competitions a year to keep her edge. When she is not painting outside, you can find her in her studio working on larger landscapes that highlight the interplay of light, color and texture.
