LOS ANGELES ARTIST JEN MILLER releases the first collection of graphic paintings from her series, “Birds of Paradise.” |
| About the Artist | |
My art explores universal themes: vulnerability and strength, feminine emotions, the inevitability of contradictions…the idea that painful experience can be transformed into beauty, and even enhance the beauty of our experience, and what we are able to express, as women, as human beings. I look at a lot of art today and I find it very dark, a reflection of our decline into this global corporate wasteland, whereas I choose to create work that is fundamentally optimistic. The underlying messages in my work are of resiliency, strength, and transcendence. |

| Education and biography | |
| BACKGROUND: Jen Miller was born and raised in Los Angeles, growing up in Echo Park, Korea Town, and Venice, which helped shape her urban visual style. She received her B.A. in graphic communications from California State University, Los Angeles where she was first introduced to the graphic technique of transforming images into dot-patterns, or halftones, for reproduction on a printing press. At CSULA she received an award for “Outstanding Achievement in Graphic Communications,” and achieved wide recognition for her sensual drawings of the feminine form. She went on to a successful career in graphic design, working within the entertainment and music industries. While in college she was introduced to the Brazilian community in LA and she took her first trip to Brazil in 1990. This began an ongoing love affair with the dance, music, culture, style, and aesthetic of Brazil, and led to her joining an LA-based samba dance ensemble. As a dancer she has worked alongside artists such as Carlos Santana and Colombia’s Charlie Zaa, and she has toured with The Grateful Dead’s “Further Festival” which included bands Los Lobos, Jefferson Airplane, Mickey Hart, and others. Jen Miller’s graphic work has been featured on album covers for artists including Ottmar Leibert, Maná, Barbra Streisand, June Carter Cash, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash. She has created entertainment graphics for shows such as The X-Files, and her corporate clients include Disney, Paramount Pictures, and Roland, among others. Her artwork has been exhibited at California State University Los Angeles, W Hotel, Boardners, and The Women’s International Film & Television Showcase at the Pacific Design Center, and appears in private collections in United States, Brazil, Indonesia, and Italy. |
