Janvier Miller is a potter who lives in Vero Beach, FL and summers in local Stonington, CT with her husband Gustaf. Both of them are Elected Artist members at MMoA.
Janvier Miller had a solo exhibition of her paintings at MMoA in 2017 called Fans & Vessels.
“My paintings begin with studies on paper. Each canvas takes about a month to complete. I work on several at once trying for a balance between description and abstraction. I enjoy playfully pushing paint around then slowly imposing order to create a unified picture. I also am a potter. The vases naturally become subject matter.”

Recent Work
Janvier recently appeared on the cover of her local paper’s Art & Theater section in Vero Beach, FL for her recent work while social distancing.
“Friends sent me selfies that I combined on this canvas. Covid 19 virus has us all sequestered. This project has filled the days. My self portrait is 2nd from the right in the top row with Gus next to me.”
