Artist Statement

"My life and my art have always been about discovery. For me, It has never been about getting the answers to every question but finding new paths of exploration.  My desire for knowledge has pushed me to follow many paths in life including art, music, archaeology, and jewelry design. As an artist and anthropologist, I am constantly looking at the world around me and recording what I see. Precious Metal Clay has allowed me to weave these influences together to create a record of my life in metal. I can hardly wait to see what is around the next bend. I invite you to share my journey with me."

Artist Bio

Cindy Miller has spent her life in the pursuit of creative fulfillment.  Trained in fine art initially, Cindy eventually spawned a career in graphic design and multimedia development. Along the way she also became an archaeologist. Always looking for new creative outlets, Cindy enrolled in a silversmith class and began applying her design skills to jewelry.  Traditional silver work soon lead to the discovery of Precious Metal Clay (PMC) and by the end of the first class she was hooked.  Cindy has been working with metal clay since 2005. She has been published in Art Jewelry Magazine, Fusion Magazine, Metal Clay Artist Calendar and has been featured in galleries, art shows and retail shops across the country including Colorado, Texas, Idaho, and Alabama.

Cindy currently lives in Washington D.C. and works for NASA as the manager of a graphic design contract. She holds a BA in Archaeology from the University of Colorado.

Cindy is a member of  the American Institute of Graphic Artist, PMC Guild,  and the Mid-Atlantic Glass Bead Society. Cindy has been a certified PMC artisian since 2008.
