Jeremiah Miller

STATEMENT
I view painting as an endeavor of the spirit. The solitude of the landscape offers the ideal arena to explore feelings about my familiar environment while celebrating the painting process. My desire is to capture the spirit and energy of my subject while exploring my own personality and responding intuitively to ideas that arise during the act of painting. The completed work is an improvisational synthesis of ideas about the landscape and the formal and serendipitous pleasures of painting. These intuitive reactions are expressed through the rhythms of my emotions, experiences, and motivations.
