A consummate professional artist and sculptor, Richard Miller was born on the 4th of July, 1931. He is first generation Canadian and a direct descendant of Scotland's Earl of Lennox. His career began at the end of his formal education. With a studio in Windsor, Detroit, and a flat in New York, he soon made his mark across Canada and the U. S. ultimate colorist and romantic realist without peer. He is a designer who preconceives what he creates, a deliberate artist who has the talent to describe detail with great economy of stroke. As a portrait painter/sculptor, his dedication is absolute. There is nothing in art better than a good portrait, . . . and nothing worse than a bad one. A prolific artist, his commissions number in the hundreds and extend over much of the world. They include Royalty, the Queen, Prince Philip and the Queen Mother; two Speakers of the House of Parliament; State portraits of Gov. George S. Mickelson, Gov. John Patterson and Gov. Walter Dale Miller; the Fords, Henry I, Henry II, Edsel, Benson and Eleanor Clay. There are C.E.O.s and Presidents of corporations; family, individuals nd many children.
