Holly Miller
Holly Miller conveys metaphors, beauty and poetry by using humble and poor materials such as thread, tape and plastic bags to create physical and tactile works on paper and paintings. Her work has a minimal sensibility and restrained vocabulary in which she is able to expand and explore within those limits. She pushes our preconceived understanding of what makes a drawing or a painting.
Miller has shown nationally and internationally.
Selected exhibitions include the Serpentine gallery in London, the Brooklyn Museum, the University of Kentucky Art Museum in Lexington, the Weatherspoon Art Museum in Greensboro NC, Gilman Contemporary gallery in Ketchum Idaho, Lesley Heller gallery, Elizabeth Harris gallery and McKenzie Fine Art in NY and the Studio Stefania Miscetti gallery in Rome.
Her work is in the collections of the Arkansas Art Center, the Weatherspoon Art Museum and the University of Kentucky Art Museum.
Miller was born in Buffalo NY and was raised in Rome Italy. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from School of Visual Arts.
She lives and works between Brooklyn and Vermont.
