About Professor Miller
I’m a full-time faculty member in the Art Department at Montgomery College, teaching on the Germantown and Rockville campuses. I teach Monotype, Woodcut, and Two-Dimensional Design Studio in the Rockville Print Shop, and I also teach Art History and Art Appreciation as Distance Learning Courses.
In my own studio work, I focus on woodcut and monotype techniques, primarily using nontoxic Akua inks. I have discovered that the process of experimentation—working with an idea in mind, but ultimately responding to the materials—is what truly makes printmaking a passion for me. The Monotype Workshop was an opportunity to share this approach with my students! With each technique, I demonstrated the process and introduced a few parameters. Then, the students went to work--experimenting with the technique, designing and printing, then, editing and elaborating on their ideas. By the end of the semester, the students chose to focus on a concept and technique/s to create a creating a series of prints or a unified body of work. |
