Andrew Miller: Artist     Biography

home biography portfolio contact


My formal training was in illustration at the Eastbourne College of Art.

I live in South Devon and am inspired by the beautiful coastal scenery of the south west as well as the moor land landscapes of Dartmoor. I prefer working out of doors so as to be able to capture the essence of the scenery and to inspire a vigorous response to the changing moods of the elements. The conditions of mood and light vary dramatically from day to day, offering a constant source of fascination and new challenges to respond to.

As well as creating finished work out of doors, my sketchbook is always with me to enable me to develop ideas for subsequent work in the studio.

You can view my work at the Coves Quay Gallery www.covesquay.co.uk.

I have also exhibited at:

  • The South-West Academy
  • The Walker Gallery, Honiton and Harrogate
  • The Dart Gallery, Dartmouth
  • Arts Creative
  • Chesterfield and Brownston Gallery, Modbury Devon
  • Series of paintings commissioned by the Royal Navy
  • Art 2 Frame at the Barbican, Plymouth
