Bill Miller

bio

Garde Rail Gallery has moved to Austin, TX. As a result, Bill Miller will no longer show with us in Austin, but will show with our good friends at Yard Dog. Bill has had previous representation at Yard Dog and will continue to show there. We encourage you to visit the Yard Dog web site to view and purchase Bill's work. You can also visit Bill's site. We will continue to work with Bill at art fairs when the opportunity arises.

Bill Miller creates textured scenes and portraits from discarded vintage linoleum and vinyl flooring. Creating an effect that lies somewhere between collage and stained glass, Bill's innovative use of the linoleum's pattern and color is his signature style.

Family members and familiar places become subjects depicted in rich patterns of linoleum, carefully placed, layered, then sealed on masonite. Bill began working with reclaimed materials as a founding member of Pittsburgh's Industrial Arts Co-op, constructing large scale sculptures made of scrap materials in abandoned industrial sites.

Miller has exhibited at galleries across the US, and has been featured in the New York Times.
