Edward Bear Miller
Much of my work is painted on site in the spirit of Courbet and Van Gogh. The larger studio pieces are contemplative visions of river waters nourishing and flushing human infrastructure, with river creatures mirroring our physical and psychological health. I’m trying to foster wildness in the late industrial age.
I live in Hastings-on-Hudson and maintain my studio at 145 Palisade Street in Dobbs Ferry. Born and raised in the District of Columbia with family roots in Keene Valley, NY, I finished high school in Millbrook, NY. After graduating with a degree in history from Reed College in 1993, I apprenticed for the sculptor Philip McCracken and then taught high school social studies for twelve years, including five years in Quito, Ecuador. Since 2009, I have focused on painting, completing my MFA at SUNY New Paltz.
