#253 Kristin Miller: Artist and College Professor

Kristin Miller is an art professor at Palm Beach State College, teaching art appreciation, as well as design, illustration, and sculpture. Her own artwork often starts with painting, but then she usually adds 3D elements. She creates her own papers from natural objects, and sculpts using everyday items like cardboard, wire, and fabric. Her fine artwork creates habitats, investigates spaces of the home and uses natural materials that are layered and hang from or above the piece. Kristin shows her artwork in local galleries, utilizing the space to create site-specific art.
