John Miller
John
Miller was born in London in 1931 and started painting as a teenager. His first
main career was as an architect and after a visit to West Cornwall in the
mid-fifties he returned to live there in 1958 with Michael Truscott. He was
elected to the Newlyn Society of Artists in 1961 and became a Fellow of the
Royal Society of Arts in 1964. He went on to show in London, New York, Vancouver
and Europe and made many broadcasts and television appearances. Visiting the
Isles of Scilly led to the beach paintings, and after living at Sancreed for
many years he painted from a house on the beach at Lelant where some of his most
evocative paintings were done. Travels in places such as Goa and Greece also
influenced his paintings, as did his deep spiritual and religious beliefs, which
shine through the colour and intensity of the images.
