Please join us as we welcome Aimee Miller, an Atlanta-based painter and mixed media artist. She received her MFA in Painting from the University of Delaware and BA in Studio Art from Spelman College. She is the recipient of several awards and scholarships which include fellowships for residencies at the Hambidge Center in Rabun Gap, Georgia, Anderson Ranch Art Center in Snowmass Village, Colorado and Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, Vermont. Aimee's work is in both public and private collections that include The Paul R. Jones Collection (University of Delaware), the Georgia Museum of Art (University of Georgia), The Paul R. Jones Collection (University of Alabama), and Wilson College. She is currently an art educator for Fulton County Schools and has served several institutions in the University System of Georgia as a lecturer and part-time instructor of art.

Aimee Miller is continuously inspired by the endless possibilities of surfaces, materials, and their relationship to paint. While she often takes references from nature, structures that exist in both exterior and interior spaces inform my work. As Aimee's practice evolves, she experiments with techniques that reflects her interest in textiles and surface design. Join Aimee as she discuss how it began to influence her relationship with the canvas, not literally at first, but through patterns, textures, and a layered approach to surface. She realized that textiles, like paintings, are built through process: weaving, dyeing, and unraveling which currently mirror my methods of layering paint, manipulating it in dried form, and reworking the surface.
