About Kristiina Miller
Thanks for visiting my Portfolio.
I am a Canadian artist and illustrator with a strong background in education and commision work.
I work primarily in chalk pastels, and in other media where the story dictates. Yes, pastel is an Old World (old school?) medium, but sitting in front of Degas' Woman Combing Her Hair at the AGO as a university student stirred something it me.
I love colour!
I often work in an alla prima--all at once!-- style and pastels have the perfect immediate, intimate quality to them. The primitive feeling of colour on my hands and fingers is irresistable.
I truly believe it is the small, dirty moments in this life that are the most beautiful, and I try very hard to tell their story.
Thank you for joining me on my journey.
