David C. Miller is an internationally
acclaimed marine artist who’s work has graced the covers of everything from
greeting cards to jigsaw puzzles, but his best work has always been done on
lexan and canvas. His use of acrylics have earned him acclaim from art critics
as well as environmentalists. David’s personal pursuit has always been that
of environmental preservation. His portfolio includes commissioned works for
such prestigious foundations as Sea Turtles of the World, an environmental
group protecting endangered sea turtles, and The Franklin Mint, part
of the proceeds from the porcelain heirloom collectors plates goes to the Save The Dolphin program. His work is also shown in many prestigious
Aquariums across the nation.
David’s talent as a colorist is exceptional.
His extraordinary palette of colors is at once exotic, yet realistic of the
habitat he paints. Certified for open water scuba, David has spent many hours
diving in the beautiful waters of the Hawaiian Islands, Jamaica, California,
and Mexico. Virtually all of his creations depict an aspect of the natural
world. His eye-catching effects of color and light extol the artist’s sense
of tranquillity and reverence he feels for marine life and is reflected in
his exquisite portrayal of life both above and below the sea. He is known
for his brilliantly colored tropical fish, sea turtles, and most of all his
dolphins and whales frolicking just below the surface of the deep, clean blue
ocean in his "above and below" pieces.
