Landscape artist Christopher Miller grew up appreciating the vast, colorful vistas of New Mexico. That love of the landscape combined with a love of French and American Impressionist and post-Impressionist art led to his current pursuit of painting the New Mexico landscape.

He paints both in the studio and “en plein air”, or outdoors, viewing the subject matter directly. Plein air presents challenges, but it also helps cement his love for the landscape and it further develops his abilities to capture color, temperature, light and value. His plein air paintings often serve as studies for larger paintings in the studio, but sometimes work as beautiful pieces of art in themselves.

He has served as president of the Rio Grande Art Association and on the board of Plein Air Painters of New Mexico.

He shows his work at Amapola Gallery on Albuquerque’s Old Town Plaza, and he has been in shows at the Albuquerque Museum, New Mexico Art League, New Mexico State Fair, Wilder Nightingale Fine Art Gallery and Millicent Rogers Museum in Taos, the Sumner Dene Gallery in Albuquerque, the Sorrel Sky Gallery in Santa Fe, and the New Mexico Cancer’s Center’s Gallery With a Cause in Albuquerque and Gallup.
