Earlier life

Miller grew up with art and creativity around him. He enjoyed the various mediums and styles he worked with. In high school, Miller took every art class available. From film photography and working in the darkroom to pottery class working to make glazes and making pottery clay, Miller enjoyed the process. Miller also enjoyed Stain glass, printmaking, and drawing classes.

Miller is a 2011 Goshen College Alumnus. He studied Interdisciplinary Studies, encompassing Peace and Justice Studies, International Studies, and Art. His Art minor included Drawing, Photography, Acrylic Painting I and II, Oil Painting, and Art History. Art History may have a stereotype of being the most boring class anyone could take; it is just one of those classes you must take. However, with the insight of my art professor and an engaged class, Miller learned how art has engaged and supported artists, communities, and cultures throughout history. Art History provides a viewpoint on how art and culture are composed together and create meaning. After all, the Stone age is referencing art, the certation of figures on stone.
