Artist David Miller

Few contemporary artists both epitomize and transcend their artistic command of an established genre. David Miller is such an artist. A world class environmental artist, David Miller is a talent whose approach to this important subject matter is as elegant and fresh as the scenes he paints. His stunning and distinctive images are widely respected in contemporary art circles, and highly collected through his superior quality prints which reproduce his artwork with breathtaking accuracy.

David's talent as a colorist is exceptional too. Certified for open water scuba, David has spent many hours diving in the beautiful waters of the Hawaiian Islands, Jamaica, California, and Mexico. Virtually all of his creations depict an aspect of the natural world.He is known for his brilliantly colored tropical fish, sea turtles, and most of all his dolphins and whales frolicking just below the surface of the deep, clean blue ocean in his "above and below" pieces. His extraordinary palette of colors is at once exotic, yet realistic of the habitat he paints. His eye-catching effects of color and light extol the artist's sense of tranquility, amazement and reverence he feels towards his subject matter.
We can immerse ourselves in his artistic vision of the hidden frontier --- the undersea world of shipwrecks and marine life, and his above the water scenes of lighthouses and tropical waterfalls.

David grew up in Napa Valley, California where his talent was realized at an early age. He soon began exhibiting his work in prestigious galleries worldwide including
the United States, Japan, Australia, and Europe. He now lives in Florida and is a part time resident of Hawaii. Public and private collectors of his work number in the thousands and encompass countries around the globe. While Miller is best known for his marine life subject matter, his oeuvre further incorporates acclaimed island seascapes and lush tropical landscapes. Such innovative versatility only enhances his prestigious position in the environmental art movement.

In the summer of 2005 artist David Miller painted "Window to Paradise" the first in his window series. David Miller's window pieces create a true three-dimensional feel of an actual "window of paradise" on your wall. David creates this facade with warm contrasting colors and his ability to mimic nature's lighting. David furthers this illusion by casting shadows throughout the painting, masterfully drawing us into its center.

David Miller's internationally celebrated art work has graced the covers of everything from greeting cards to jigsaw puzzles, but David's Millers best work has always been done on lexan and canvas. His use of acrylics have earned him acclaim from art critics as well as environmentalists. David's personal pursuit has always been that of environmental preservation. His portfolio includes commissioned works for such prestigious foundations as Sea Turtles of the World, an environmental group protecting endangered sea turtles, and The Franklin Mint, part of the proceeds from the porcelain heirloom collectors plates goes to the Save The Dolphin program. His work is also shown in many prestigious Aquariums across the nation.

In pursuit of excellence even the frames that surround his art are exceptional. They are exclusively produced and custom crafted by artisans at his studio under the supervision of David Miller. Constructed individually, and often formed with multiple frames they feature hand wrapped linen liners, and each frame is hand marbled by the artist David Miller. His unique round and oval frames constructed of one piece of wood adds to the peek-a-boo glimpse of underwater vistas.

David Miller is also influential to famous artists in other genres. David's painting "Crimson Tide" was an inspiration for Author Stephen King's latest novel "Duma Key" about an artist living in Florida trying to paint the perfect seascape. Mr. King asked David to create a new original painting of similar light and color to add to his own personal collection.
