The Temple Gallery is pleased to present Cynthia Miller: Paintings, an exhibition featuring the paintings of Tucson artist, Cynthia Miller. A reception will be held on Friday, November 30th, 5:30-7:30pm. The exhibition runs from November 24, 2007 through January 9, 2008 and includes recent work from two series, Monsoon and The Promise of the Garden.
“Inspired by a poetic impulse to explore the language of painting in the immediacy of daily life,” Miller’s open ended, colorful “visual poems” draw from her experience, as well as thoughtfully considered historical and cultural references, ranging from William Morris wallpapers and Guatemalan pottery to Ukrainian folk art and Native American textiles. These influences are as necessary to her work as the tools she uses to create them. Miller creates mixed media paintings on paper and canvas, using a unique mixture of acrylic paint, chalk pastels with oil paint stick, and graphite. In her hands these objects and patterns, painted in her loose signature style, move effortlessly, often merging and floating, one into another.
Originally from Tucson, Cynthia Miller received her B.F.A. from San Francisco Art Institute and her M.F.A. in painting from the University of Arizona. She is a recipient of the Distinguished Arizona Artist Award, conferred by the Tucson Community Foundation, among other awards. Miller has had significant impact on young artists, having spent much of her career, teaching painting and drawing. Her work is in institutional collections including the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the Tucson Museum of Art. Cynthia Miller lives and works in Tucson, with her husband, book-artist and poet Charles Alexander, founder and executive director of Chax Press and their two daughters.
