Lessons Offered in Summer
Northeast Alabama Community College is pleased to announce that
"The Fun of Drawing," "Advanced Drawing—Advanced Studies in
Portraiture," and Private Drawing Lessons will be taught as

Miller is an accomplished professional artist, who began drawing
at age 5 in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. He has been a
professional artist since 1975, supporting his family on
commissions he earned from portraits and landscape paintings.
During the 1990’s Mr. Miller moved from Chicago to southern
California, where he became a published artist selling his art
prints worldwide, earned an Associate degree from Cypress
College, and was featured in various national art publications
such as “Art Business News” and “Décor Magazine.” He became a
much-sought-after artist in the popular artists’ mecca, Venice
Beach, California. In 2004 he appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres
Show” where he performed a quick oil portrait of Ms. DeGeneres’
mom for Mother’s Day. In 2005, Mr. Miller and his wife relocated
to Jackson County where he is an art tutor and attends Northeast
Alabama Community College. Some well-known patrons and
collectors of his artwork are former Chicago Mayor Harold
Washington, jazz songstress Nancy Wilson, Dr. Betty Shabazz,
Bill and Camille Cosby, DeGeneres, Calvin (Snoop Dogg) Broadus,
and others.
