ARTIST STATEMENT
Inspiration through botanical art
Botanical art orients me to the natural world wherever I may be. I find subjects in urban spaces especially rewarding; from ginkgo leaves scattered on a sidewalk to richly colored fruits stacked at a corner market. As in life, a combination of patience and attention uncovers treasures often overlooked. I see more and appreciate the beauty outside and within.
BIOGRAPHY
Botanical Art Notes was created in 2017 by Samantha A. Miller, a licensed physician. Her introduction to botanical art began fortuitously with a class at the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG). She would complete many more courses, participating in workshops in the U.S. and abroad. Samantha earned a certificate in botanical art and illustration with honors from NYBG in June 2019. Samantha is a member of the American Society of Botanical Artists and the Botanical Art Society of the National Capital Region. She offers programs that combine her medical expertise and her work as a botanical artist to support well-being. She currently practices in Maryland.
