Canada, 1951
James Miller was born in Edmonton, Alberta on May 15. According the “The Secret Language of Birthdays”, May 15 is the Day of the Dreamweaver. Those born on this day “simply have a gift for quietly and unostentatiously touching the hearts of family, friends or colleagues….The materials that May 15 people work with come from everyday life but those born on this day have a remarkable talent for putting those materials through a kind of creative alchemy and weaving a resultant tapestry which touches one’s inner core.”
Unable to avoid his astrological fate, Miller has been making art of one kind or another for his entire adult life. Always interested in the spiritual, Miller has become obsessed with the idea that life is a really, really good thing, despite the sometimes seemingly overwhelming evidence that the opposite is true. The majority of his work on his website, jamesmillercreative.com is dedicated to communicating that message. His introduction to “A Course in Miracles” in 2012 has further confirmed for him that everyone’s “happiness and function are one.”
After teaching mostly art overseas for ten years, Miller returned to Canada in 2012 and moved to Edmonton in 2021, where he currently resides.
