BIO
Suzanne Miller was born and raised in Miami, Florida. Art was in her blood from an early age showing qualities of a studied artist. She attended the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale earning a degree in art and advertising. After graduating she produced art from realism to abstract for advertising agencies, design studios and commissions. Suzanne has participated in group shows throughout Florida and was a resident artist at the South Florida Art Center, Miami Beach. In 1993 a newspaper approached her to write an article on her work which was published that year.
In 1997 she happened upon the Leo Marchutz School in Aix-en-Provence, France. There she discovered the exhilaration of plein-air painting. Her first summer in Cezanne’s hometown was not enough, so she returned the next year. It was heartbreaking to have to finally return home, but she took with her an invaluable experience that forever changed her and her art.
Her work can be found in corporate and private collections.

STATEMENT
Inner & Outer Landscapes
My work is abstract interpretations of the organism I am among my environments. Brush stroke, texture and color communicate aliveness. I paint what I feel in the moment and let that lead me to the end point.
