Art Profile Art : Profile D. W. Miller Art Associate D. W. Miller was born in upstate NY just in time to visit the nearby studios of famed anatomist Louis Paul Jonas, and the dinosaur reconstructions he created for the 1963 World’s Fair. Shortly thereafter, he began drawing and failed to stop. Miller studied at Montserrat School of Visual Art outside of Boston, the Art Student’s League in NYC under Robert Beverly Hale, Gustav Rehberger and David Leffel, and at Project of Living Artists in Soho with Joseph Catuccio. In contradistinction to Ambrose Bierce’s definition of achievement: “The death of endeavor and the birth of disgust”, Miller continually strives to perfect his craft, and with the help of scientists, bring into being the beautiful and marvelous forms lost to extinction. He joins Syncreta to further his commitment to illustrating Earth History for audiences of all ages.
