Kathryn Miller

Born and raised on the coast of Brazil, Kathryn Miller was greatly influenced by the language, vegetation, music, culture and art of that country. She completed her undergraduate and graduate studies in the United States, receiving a B.S. and M.A. in biology and a Master’s of Fine Art in sculpture.

With her background in sculpture, photography, biology, botany, and ecology, her work is based on an interest in the natural environment and the desire to look more closely at life-supporting systems. In recent projects she has used various methods to intervene with degraded and compromised areas of the landscape in order to restore local wildlife and more self-sustaining plant systems. Crossing the boundaries of art, her projects often involve collaborations with people from other disciplines. She is very interested in the role of artist as social participant and is always looking for ways to strengthen the link between nature and culture.
