Praise for Jessica Miller
"Bold, decisive, and dynamic are just some of the adjectives that describe Jessica Miller’s work. Vibrant brushwork and vivid color embolden her canvas with a unique expression that captures the essence of her subjects. Whether painting a landscape or portrait, Jessica finds the indelible qualities that invigorate and fortify her work, leaving the viewer captivated by her interpretations of life and nature. Jessica’s work seems influenced by the Fauvists of the 20th century yet remains uniquely and formidably an expression of herself and her time.” — Andrew Lattimore
