Born 1955, Lake George, NY 

 

As an artist with a background in computer science and software, my creative path may seem unconventional, but it's driven by a fascination with the act of creating things. 

​

My artistic journey has led me through a rich tapestry of techniques and mediums, including silversmithing, dichroic glass, lampworked glass, quilting, jewelry making, and more. Among these, tie-dye and indigo shibori dying have become a lifelong passion. I've extended my love for making things by sharing them with others, conducting workshops for art clubs, and teaching the creative art of tie-dying to various groups.

​

More recently, I've ventured into the world of acrylic painting. As I was preparing for retirement, I was able to take classes and workshops to learn the basic techniques of painting which provided me with a new canvas for my artistic expression.  

​

My creative process is one of curiosity and hands-on experimentation. Whether it’s eagerly unwrapping an article of clothing to reveal the vibrant, unpredictable results of tie-dye, or watching waves and reflections appear after layers of paint on a canvas, the transformative moment, when colors and patterns emerge, fuels my desire to create.  The process is so liberating—every project, regardless of the outcome, is a valuable stepping stone in my artistic journey.

​

As I continue to paint, dye, and create, I eagerly await where this artistic journey will lead. My initial intentions were humble—to create for myself—but the possibilities are endless.  I am driven not only by the desire to make things but also by the gratification of sharing knowledge and inspiring others to embrace their own creative journeys.  You can reach me at kimmariemiller5@gmail.com
