please bear with me as I update my website ... it is non-intuitive, super time-consuming and tedious for me. Like why can't I wrap text around an image?
My name is Cari Miller and I'm a lifelong artist with lifelong mental health issues. When I began to seriously pursue art in 2001, my art was mostly suns and other fun and colorful pieces. I had a studio in downtown Akron from 2011-2015 and loved to interact with visitors and discuss all kinds of things with them.
Then a lot of life -- but not a lot of art -- happened. My art became emotional and sad. But I think art that makes you smile is as important as art that comforts you. I hope when you look at my art you get what you need at that moment.
I have SO. MUCH. ART. in so many different media that I don't even know how to present or organize it.
I am giving this a shot. Here are some different ways I have portrayed faces. Many are sad. :( So I am going to try to balance them with some happier suns. You'll see marker, random objects like marker caps, alcohol ink, colored pencil, acrylic paint, clay and pastel.
