Collection: Laurie Miles

Artist and gardener Laurie Miles practices both at her home in Windsor, Massachusetts. After a long career in advertising, Laurie now practices fine art in a variety of media, strongly informed by her gardens and the natural world.

“Material is the starting point for my work. I deconstruct and recombine materials to create new works. It’s an intuitive process that leads to explorations of pattern, texture and design.

My recent work involves a creative close-up of nature’s elegant line work. Delicate patterns mimic networks within our solar system, tree roots, even our own vascular systems. There’s much to take from nature for inspiration. I choose to wonder about what I can’t see.”

Laurie Miles has spent many years volunteering for organizations like The Massachusetts Trustees of Reservation and as a docent for the Clark Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts. She has a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston.
