On My Way Print

Noelle Miller is a mixed media artist living and working in Northern Colorado. After graduating from CSU with a BFA in Drawing she moved to Asheville, North Carolina to begin her career as a working artist. Now back in Colorado, she bridges the chapters of her life through an accumulated language of colors and marks learned during these times. Within her work, Noelle uses processes that are largely uncontrollable combined with meticulously structured elements. Large washes of color are layered beneath measured and pre-drawn patterns, entwined with representational imagery inspired by an array of subjects, but most frequently time in nature with her children. All of the pattern work is freehand painted, as a nod to the human element, with sketch marks left revealed as a representation of control. Nothing can ever be perfect. Her hope is that the viewer feels the symbiotic relationship of control vs the uncontrollable and that they are grounded in the present moment while examining the layers and following the lines through each artwork.
