"It's So Much About Casting Things Away" - Painter Charles Miller

"My work is the study of the light at the heart of nature. My process is an act of forming and reforming the paint surface to create a moment that goes directly to the source of expression - to the center of nature where one is so close to it that all images dissolve into fields of color and light." Charles Miller works in oils to capture how light interacts with nature. Maine is his inspiration, where the light is ever shifting, changing, transforming. His paintings capture that motion, with the paint itself absorbing, refracting as the light around them changes. Charles has a BFA from Ithaca College, and studied at the New York Studio School, working with painters Jake Berthot, John Walker and others. He’s shown paintings in New York and Boston (among other places). Charles lives and works in New York and Maine, and has had gallery representation by New Era Gallery and Henry McMahon Fine Arts.
