About the Artist

---

Gayle Miller was born in Mitchell County, Texas, in 1943.  Growing up as the daughter of a West Texas veterinarian left an indelible impression on Miller, who continues to draw on fond memories of the ranching environment and going out with her father to treat herds of cattle and horses.  She taps into her father’s appreciation and love of nature when beginning work on a painting.

At an early age her parents enrolled her in the Art Instruction Institute of Minneapolis, Minnesota. She attended Texas Tech University.  In 1965, she moved to Dallas, where she participated in art classes and workshops with several well-known artists.  She has worked with various mediums, including watercolor, oil, and acrylic.  Her first love is watercolor.

Over the years, Miller's work has featured numerous subjects but always centered around nature.  She uses deep, tranquil colors to create serene, interesting pieces.

In 1989, Miller moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where she lived for 26 years.  In 2003, she began painting nautical charts for a national gallery drawing inspiration from her surroundings.  The charts have been well received.   Her work has sold nationally and internationally.
