Laurie Miller, ‘Mysterious Wildflowers’ Rain Painting - triptych
Laurie Miller
Laurie Miller’s ‘Rain Paintings’ are a signature series that blend artistic intention with the unpredictable forces of nature. Since 2013, Laurie has created these works outdoors, allowing the rain to interact directly with her canvases. She applies up to forty layers of acrylic and metallic paints, letting the falling rain blend and shape the colors, resulting in unique textures and organic patterns that can never be replicated.
Through her ‘Rain Paintings’ Laurie explores themes of renewal, transformation, and the interconnectedness of life.
Each piece serves as both a visual meditation and a celebration of nature’s role in the creative process, inviting viewers to connect on a deeply emotional level.

Christopher Mitchell, "My Fluffy Friend"Christopher Mitchell
After a long career in publishing and media sales, I have dedicated myself fully to the pursuit of art—something that has always been within me, expressed for years through constant sketching and mark-making.
My current work explores surrealism through acrylic, pen & ink, and colored pencil, often centering on animals, whose presence reflects both my deep affection for them and their symbolic power. I am drawn to blending reality with imagination, creating images that invite viewers to see the familiar in unexpected ways.
Through my art, I aim to connect with others, spark curiosity, and leave a lasting body of work that reflects a vision uniquely my own.
