STEVEN R. MILLER came early and late to art. Growing up in rural Ohio in the 1950’s Steve learned to draw and paint with the encouragement of his artist mother. But other interests intervened—he began to study science and earned B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry followed by research and teaching at Oakland University from 1962 through 1994. In 1995 he began a full time commitment to sculpture and drawing.
His art education is a series of non-degree studies, starting in 1985 and continuing to the present. Instruction in sculpture, drawing and printmaking was taken at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center (BBAC), the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit (CCS), the Fechin Institute in Taos, New Mexico and the Scottsdale Artists’ School (SAS) in Arizona.
SCULPTURE INSTRUCTORS
From 1992 to 1996 Steve was privileged to be mentored by Arthur Schneider of Franklin—an extraordinary artist, teacher and friend. Steve served as President of the Sculptors Guild of Michigan from 2000 to 2002. He has taught workshops at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center and the Greater Bloomfield Senior Association.
Currently his work is on display at:
Blue Heron Gallery Elk Rapids, MI
Lawrence Street Gallery Ferndale, MI
