David Christopher Miller

Hailing from an artistically talented family, David C. Miller grew up in Iowa and California, where he spent much of his free time helping out his dad, who was a professional sign painter and neon specialist. David was also influenced and encouraged by his mother, who was an accomplished craftswoman. He went on to earn a degree in drafting, which helped him to develop his initial spacial and dimensional concepts. The art David currently produces is heavily influenced by the indelible impressions made by the many hours spent scuba diving in California, Mexico, Hawaii and Jamaica. He became completely captivated by the beauty of the island and mainland coasts and was moved by the magnificence of their companion waters. David knew he had found the subject he wanted to paint. And while his early work in traditional oil on canvas was satisfactory for some uses, it failed to produce the brilliance necessary to more precisely interpret his subjects. He began to experiment and soon developed a special process for priming the surface of lexan panels, which allows the adhesion of acrylic paint. This method of painting on lexan aids in the creation of a profound and luminous form, fully dramatizing David's ability to conceptualize a subject in three dimensions. The result is a distinctive portrayal of the life zone both above and beneath the sea that gives viewers of a unique presentation of depth and perspective. David's work is part of numerous private collections and is displayed in galleries throughout the United States and Japan.
