UWM alum and multi-disciplinary artist Michael J Miller (BFA 1987, Art; MA 1991, Art) is currently displaying his work at SoNa Chicago, a venue for contemporary art. A lifelong artist, Miller’s recent exhibition focuses on his life as an artist, how he has changed over time, and how this shapes his worldview.  

In the announcement published by Chicago Gallery News, Miller reflects on his practice, encompassing mediums like woodworking, painting, drawing, and music.

“I have been very fortunate that much of my working life has been spent creatively in the service of, and alongside many other amazing and talented individuals,” Miller said. “As a woodworker and furniture builder, an art instructor, or as an exhibition designer/builder, creating and installing exhibitions for museums and galleries, I have had the opportunity to share ideas, problem solve countless issues, and explore a multitude of materials, all while expanding personal horizons of art making.”
