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.
The wind-bent trees of the Maine coast rendered in the scratched and layered language of woodcut — each line a mark Miller made by hand, the grain of the wood itself visible in the image. A masterful evocation of a particular kind of Maine weather: horizontal and relentless and beautiful.
