Doretta MillerAbout my work My recent work focuses on places where I have lived and considered from an artist’s perspective. What motivates me is not the portraying of the natural majesty of the landscape or the glory of the urban setting. Rather I have a desire to reveal the quiet corners and common vistas of the urban landscape. I approach my subjects with respect, evident through careful and skilled execution of the gouache medium on paper. Balancing the formal aspects of a harmonious composition with subtle content is a challenge both intellectually and technically. Various visual effects are used to offset strong illusions with referential motifs, decorative patterns, and trompe l’oeil. Images of city streets, people going about everyday activities, and decorative objects are used in borders, helping to tell a story that informs the viewer. See also:
