Greg Miller

Reconnecting with someone who's been an important part of your life is always wonderful, but when that person is also a top-notch painter with fantastic stories to tell, you just have to share. Greg Miller, one of my former college teachers, is also a skilled mixed media artist. A self-described "contemporary cave painter," he combines painting and collages of vintage magazines to add layers and depth, as well as mixing figuration with text to create nuanced narratives that, despite a certain level of nostalgia, still look forward towards contemporary issues.
On top of all that, he tells some great stories about art world luminaries, how visiting abandoned ghost towns in northern California as a child still influences his work today, and (my personal favorite) the infamous Keith Haring volleyball incident.
