Acrylic, fabric, embroidery, pastel, relief outliner on canvas
The floral pieces started during the pandemic, they combine thrift store finds, discarded household textiles, cut fabric flowers, layers of acrylic paint, and hand drawn lines. The floral pieces have evolved into a complex narrative – one that is both deeply personal and widely shared – stories of loss, waiting, renewal, remembrance, expectancy, surprise, hope, and change.

Ashley Sauder Miller holds a Master of Fine Arts (2007) from James Madison University, with an emphasis in painting and drawing. Miller was a finalist for the William and Dorothy Yeck Purchase Award in the Young Painters Competition at Miami University. She received the Best in Show Award at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art Boardwalk show in 2016 and was selected for a solo exhibition at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art’s Runnymede Gallery in 2017. Her work has included in both online and print publications, including Professional Artist Magazine, Veer Magazine, FreshPaint Magazine, Studio Visit Magazine and will be included in issue #148 South 2020 edition of New American Paintings. Miller maintains a regular studio practice, actively exhibits her work, and is the primary caregiver for her four children.
Drawers and boxes in my studio overflow with scraps collected for the past twenty years – treasured family photos, heirloom embroidery, pieces of chair upholstery, vintage drawer liners, richly colored and textured textiles, stacks of my child’s drawings – bits and pieces of stories and nostalgia, a collection of apast lifetime. This body of work combines found and discarded materials with traditional art media. Thrift store quilt squares, chair upholstery, fabric flowers, balsa wood, and bits of cut paper left behind by my children are layered with paint, marker and oil pastel to create contemporary narratives from past stories. The chair and floral pieces have evolved into a complex narrative – one both deeply personal and widely shared – stories of loss, renewal, remembrance, expectancy, surprise, hope, and change.
