About The Artist

I am the resident artist at the Lingholm Estate, Portinscale, Keswick, Cumbria. The Estates main house was the holiday home of Beatrice Potter. www.lingholmestate.co.uk. My portfolio details the making of studies and paintings including the commission of two large triptychs. Artist Statement www.robmillerartist.org. The inspiration for my paintings, wherever I am comes from walking through the land and painting on location. These organic experiences present me with a whole array of emotions and information which allows me to identify closely with a place or a moment. For me painting is akin to poetry, each brush mark or line, I borrow from nature, wrought from an observation like a line, a note or a word in a stanza; even a short walk can result, if everything is right, in a whole body of work almost as a poem or a meditation.
