Paton Miller's artwork reflects memories of places he has traveled to and people he has met. Miller's use of vibrant colors and strong earth tones evoke the warmth of fresco paintings. His painterly style is enhanced by scratches, visible underdrawings and outlining, resulting in a complex and dynamic image.
Miller's work is in the collections of the American Embassy in Abu Dhabi, the American Embassy in Bogota, Columbia, Heckscher Museum in Huntington, NY, Guild Hall in East Hampton, NY, the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, NY and the William and Mary College in Virginia.
Born in Seattle and raised in Hawaii, Miller currently resides in Southampton with his wife and two sons.
His work can be seen at Outeast Gallery in Montauk, which will present "New & Works from the Archives" on view through Sept. 10. An opening reception will be held on Saturday from 6 to 9 p.m.
