Cheryl Miller is a life-long resident of NE Ohio. Having had an appreciation for drawing, gardening and nature early on, she began her career as an artist in the early 1980’s when approached by a family friend to render a local historic building in graphite. After exploring several different media and subjects along the way she has now combined her love of gardening with her art. Always possessing a fascination with detail, much of her recent work has concentrated on botanical subjects that are drawn in colored pencil and graphite. The inspiration for this art form is found nearby as she is an avid gardener and explorer of the natural world around her home.
