I have just been notified that my painting, Children
Watching TV, has been purchased for Access Living. Thanks to the donors, it
is now part of Access Living's permanent art collection! I am keeping the names
of the donors private unless they give me permission to mention them.
I was also recently selected to be a Gawker artist.
"Gawker Media is an online company founded and owned by
Nick Denton and based in New York City. It is considered to be one of the most
visible and successful blog-oriented media companies. As of January 2008, it is
the parent company for 16 different blogs, including
Gawker.com, Defamer,
Deadspin, Wonkette, Lifehacker, Gizmodo, Consumerist, and Kotaku. "
(Wikipedia.org)
Gawker media supports artists selected into their program
by rotating images of their artwork in place of regular advertisements on their
websites. If you go to gawker.com and hit refresh a bunch of times, you will
inevitably see some of my work.

In addition, be/dc, an online art, design, and culture
magazine has featured me this month. Go to

My trip to Chicago was a success. My slide talk was well-received and I was
pleased to see the large turnout for the event on December 7th. Access Living
has a key location in is downtown on West Chicago Ave right near the gallery
district. Their new modern glass-front building designed by LCM architects won
an award from AIA, the American Institute of Architects for its universally
accessible, green, energy-saving, and attractive design.
http://www.aia.org/aiarchitect/thisweek07/0817/0817p_pva.cfm
The quality of the soon-to-be permanent art collection at Access Living is
phenomenal. The collection's artists include Chuck Close and Dale Chihuly.
I was pleased to find out that my painting, Children Watching TV, is
hung on the first floor in the reception area. It is visible from the street and
to everyone who enters the building.
Currently, many pieces are on loan from the artists themselves. The Curator,
Riva Lehrer, hopes to make all the work part of a permanent art collection open
to the public. To make this a reality, donors are needed to purchase the artwork
so that it can remain at Access Living for life.
For more information on donating, please contact Riva Lehrer:

many of them on my floor so please stop by!

first time on campus in the 2nd floor Fox gallery. It can be seen along side
many other excellent works and is certainly worth a visit. Hung on October 18,
The Fox 2 show will be up until Monday October 30. The show was hung in honor of
three guest artists visiting next week: Eric Fischl, Sam Messer, and Peter
Halley.

Artist Statement has been re-written, reflecting clarification
of ideas being explored in my current work. Two oil paintings and two pastels
were shown in the Fox 2 Gallery at MICA this month. Currently in the studio are
two oil paintings, an oil pastel, and a soft pastel piece. I expect for them to
be finished this winter. Also, my website has been re-hosted and will hopefully
run smoother.
July 17, 2006
www.ArtistKatieMiller.com is updated, reorganized, and hopefully, easier to
navigate. The former Gallery section is now titled Images. Each piece is
categorized once under the body of work it fits into, instead of being
cross-referenced. You may now view an entire series at once as well as flip
through the larger images as you could before. Also new is the ability to read
about each series of work. The Press section has been re-done as well, with
formatted text and images. The Mailing List now has a form (please let me know
if it doesn't work). This news section is also new. If you have any difficulties
with the site, please
email me.
