TRESSA MILLER

I explore various styles of two dimensional work from figurative narratives to minimalist statements and gestural abstraction. My first academic training was grounded in American abstract painting and I continue to return to those roots while also developing drawings, paintings and collage combinations that are often stabilized within a grid. My latest paintings focus on landscape imagery and were inspired by a recent trip to Mammoth Lakes.
