Dan Miller has been making art from Maine materials — white pine, the state tree, and driftwood from the beaches near his isolated studio — for decades. He received his MFA from the University of Pennsylvania in 1958, graduated from PAFA the following year, and has served as a faculty member at PAFA since 1964, teaching art history, painting, and printmaking.
A butterfly on dark wood — the insect's wing pattern picked out in warm gold and green against the deep, scored grain of the woodblock. A small, intimate piece that shows Miller working at the intersection of natural history and fine art printmaking.
