Edie Miller
Vancouver Island, BC
Edie Miller had lots of ambitions growing up.
One was to be a soda jerk. Being a ballet dancer sounded pretty good, too. And she still wants to carve a wooden door.
Meantime, she’s become one of the West Coast’s most accomplished printmakers.
She’s perhaps best known for her miniature etchings. Which not only demonstrate her superb sense of craftsmanship and intricate care to detail – but also her sense of humour that almost inevitably appears in at least the title of the print.
She creates the good old fashioned way, too. Everything from idea scribbles and etching the plate to pulling the prints one at a time – is done by hand. Even the prints are individually hand coloured to achieve a softness and subtlety you just can’t get any other way.
Edie’s held workshops and numerous one-man shows. Her work can be found at galleries in Canada and private collections.
