Harold K. Miller

Harold K. Miller attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania, earning a B.A in Art in 1972 and a Masters in Printmaking and Education in 1975. After surviving 32 years in the Pennsylvania public school system, Harold retired in 2006 and began painting full time. Beginning with small plein-air studies, he gradually moved on to larger studio paintings. Of particular interest is a series depicting the farm structures on the Gettysburg battlefield. However, he has recently experienced the landscape of the American Southwest. He is currently adjusting his palette
and exploring that unique area.

Harold  has been influenced by the work of Edward Hopper, Winslow Homer, the Wyeths (N.C. and Andrew) and Sidney Laurence. 

Roadside Church $550
Harold's current work is oil painting on canvas board. His focus has been the Pennsylvania landscape and traditional buildings. The work captures a moment in time, light, and season.

Heading North $450

Harold works are intimate views of the landscape. Drawing the viewer in and giving comfort through familiarity. He is currently working on images from his recent trip to the American Southwest and we anticipate the same kind of intimate familiarity in the warm earth tones of that region.

Stop in to see Harold's work and our other local artists here at the Gallery, Tuesday through Saturday.
