Charles Miller

Honored Artist 2005


"The Circus" Acrylic 22"x28"


The creative urges of this self-taught artist have led him to create a myriad of artworks in all arts media. Charles' arts abilities include painting, sculpture, ceramics, and furniture building. Due to an undiscovered hearing impairment, Charles never learned to read or write as a child and has found art to be a particularly important refuge and creative outlet.

Throughout his prolific artistic career he has created artworks inspired by many different cultures and time periods. His most well-known work, "The Egyptian Collection", was exhibited at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) in Portland, OR.

He works intuitively to create images that replicate people's pasts in intricate and painstaking detail.
