"The task of the artist is paradoxical by nature," says Christian Miller. "He strives to create all at once the essence of an emotional moment to be recreated endlessly in the viewer's mind. In this sense, the artist is defining the moment of the present to be recreated infinitely as far as the mind can imagine. Capturing as a photo captures a precise moment of joy, despair, harmony or discord, the artist expresses the event and conveys the sense of that event. "

Miller attended Paier College of Art. He obtained a BA in Art Education from Southern Connecticut State University, and an Associates Degree in Arts/Commercial Graphics from Middlesex College in Middletown, where he was on the Dean's List, and Phi Theta Kappa. He has won art awards from Dime Savings Bank, the Fine Arts Award from TJB,Inc., and the MCAA Patron's Fine Arts Award.

(A couple of Miller's paintings were reviewed on Connecticut Art Scene last October.)
