ARTIST E-MAIL:
Arlette Miller, Little Rock
Arlette began painting as a Dallas teenager, when she took private lessons. She graduated from high school at Brownwood, Texas in May, 1949. She holds a Bachelor's degree from McMurry College at Abilene, Texas and a Master's degree from the University of Central Arkansas. Her collegiate work included art courses taken as electives while she prepared for a career in education.
In 1979, while still teaching second-graders in the Little Rock public schools, she began participating in art workshops in anticipation of, and preparation for, more intense painting activity than was possible during her years as a homemaker and educator.
She has concentrated on developing her artistic skills during the years since 1982, when she left the Little Rock public school system. That concentration has included participation in workshops conducted by nationally-known artists/teachers, plus thousands of hours painting on location and in her studio at home.
Her entries have won numerous awards in art competitions. Her work has appeared in galleries in Arkansas and Texas, and her art pieces can be found among corporate collections around Arkansas. She displays paintings in the gallery at Cox Creative Center, 120 Commerce Street, Little Rock.
She has had several solo shows, exhibited in numerous group shows, and has conducted painting workshops in Arkansas and Missouri.
Painting is Arlette's outlet for expression of the beauty she sees throughout God's creation and man's utilization thereof; one of her major objectives is to capture the interplay of light and color on and in the subject at hand; her subjects include figures, florals, landscapes, portraits, still-life studies, and structures. She works in acrylics, oils, pastels, and watercolors, and enjoys doing quick charcoal portraits at live sittings.
