A Bit About Me
​​Cindy Miller is a native of Huntsville, AL. Her artistic journey began early in life and became a full time passion in her teens while working as a graphic designer and studying art at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. In her thirties, she embraced her love for archaeology, earning a degree in Anthropology/Archaeology from the University of Colorado in Boulder, where she lived for a decade.
In 2007, Cindy's path led her to NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC, where she served as Program Manager for the Graphic Contract. However, her roots beckoned her back to Huntsville in 2015, and she established her art studio in the Lowe Mill Arts and Entertainment complex, where she currently resides and creates full-time.
Cindy's multi-medium artistry is a fusion of her design background and her archaeological passion. Her work has been shown in galleries across the country and featured in numerous publications.
