Mary Ellen Miller's Profile | Gallery

Mary Ellen Miller

"I draw and paint to express the peace and joy I experience from the natural world in a way that others might also find pleasure and respite from today's frantic pace. I do not wish to create anew but to renew our relationship to the magnificent world already created. The ever changing effects of light and weather on the landscape of Southwest
Colorado are an unending source of inspiration. I try to capture and preserve these
moments to be felt and enjoyed again and again."
