PHYLLIS T. MILLER-ARTIST STATEMENT
My art series, “Vibrant Nature & Universe Sensations” is a contribution and a celebration of nature and its grace. My most proud endeavor, to continue to provide the healing benefits of art to our communities of veterans and civilians. Art is an evoking energy, it creates a philosophy of exploration of reflection, a bi product to unified humanity.
Thank You,
Phyllis T. Miller
