Anne Miller
Born in Los Angeles, Anne Miller moved to a small farm town in rural Iowa at the age of nine. The move sparked a lifelong interest in nature and the elements. After studying art and music in college, Miller taught music briefly at the University of California in Davis and played flute in the Tobrini Woodwind Quintet and as a soloist before becoming a software engineer. As a photographer Anne is largely self-taught, having started by shooting 35mm film and learning traditional printing methods in a home darkroom made from a converted bathroom. The development of increasingly powerful digital tools has led her to combining her interests in computing and photography. She now works exclusively with digital SLR cameras and uses a variety of image editing software tools to realize her evolving artistic vision.
Although influenced by numerous artists, including Wassily Kandinsky, Georgia O’Keefe, Pablo Picasso, Imogen Cunningham, Marc Rothko, Wayne Thiebaud, and Lee Friedlander, Anne believes that her own imagination and powers of observation are the strongest influences on her work. Photography is a means for her to explore and to share her view of the overlooked beauty and mystery that usually go unnoticed in our everyday world. Anne Miller’s photographs have been shown in several exhibits in the Sacramento area.
