A Journey in Light and Color

"My paintings are more than a collection, they are moments and places captured in oil. Each piece tells a story, not just of landscapes but of the journey that led me to them.

​

I first painted as a child in the Pennsylvania mountains, drawn to shifting light and rolling hills. At Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, I refined my classical technique while holding onto that sense of wonder.

​

​

Years later, I found myself living in Belgium, a place of old world charm, and a history of painters who saw the world in ways I longed to understand. The muted tones of Flemish landscapes, and the deep greens and grays of a misty day, these became my palette.

​

Now, in Virginia, my brush moves with new energy, bold, loose, and my palette is shaped by the Blue Ridge’s wild beauty. 

​

This collection is a meditation on seeing, a testament to the places I’ve loved and the stories I’ve told through paint. And like all art, it remains unfinished, waiting for the next story to unfold." - Grace Miles
