Cari Miller: "Fun in the Sun"
The public is invited to meet the artist, view her work, and enjoy refreshments at the exhibition opening on Friday, August 13, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Fred F. Silk Community Room of the Massillon Museum. The party is free and open to all.
Miller uses colorful acrylic paints in layers to achieve a heavy textural effect in her paintings. In her paintings and her photographs she focuses on universal subjects and emotions.
“When you spend your whole life in Northeast Ohio like I have, you often develop a fascination with the sun and all things bright and beautiful,” the artist says. “And when you’re the youngest of four children like I am, you learn at an early age ways to keep yourself busy. Put the two together, and you have the makings of an artist who has spent her life trying to create things that bring sunshine and color into other people’s lives.”
A graduate of the University of Akron, Miller has actively exhibited her artwork in group and solo shows since 2003. Since 1995, she has worked as a freelance artist and photographer.
The Studio M exhibition may be seen through September 19 during regular Museum hours, Tuesday through Saturday 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. The Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe and the Museum shop, OhRegionalities are located in the lobby of the Massillon Museum. Ohregionalities carries Miller’s jewelry items, and during the exhibition she will offer notecards and prints for sale, as well.
