Jesse Miller ‘Untitled’ 1996
Acrylic on Canvas 5′ * 6′
Private Collection Costa Mesa, CA
This was Jesse’s first oversized painting. The three panel painting is a psychedelic milestone in art. Innumerable faces and bodies lay hidden and contorted, melting and shifting through out the entire composition. While staring at this piece it seems to absolutely come alive! One of the things that I love is that it is such a time piece marking Jesse stylisticly at the time. It has every element of his creativity at that point in his development. Also, no one can be without an opinion in this painting. It is a love it or hate it piece of art.. no one hesitates to pick their side.

Jesse Miller 2005
Acrylic, Canvas, Leaded Glass,
and Carved Wood
Private Collection Irvine, CA
This is a very popular piece of Jesse Miller’s. Many people have asked if he could make another just like it, but that is not likely. I love how he used two different types of glass for the same color blue in the sky and sea. They reflect differently, that is the only difference. The sky is clear, while the glass in the sea is rippled.

Many artists like to throw out the word multimedia, to describe their work. Jesse Miller by contrast, defines the term.
Jesse’s art is a combination of many medium and artistic experiences. He has worked professionally since his school days in every imaginable medium: clothing, posters, CD covers, chalk, commercial logos, murals, surfboards, wood carving and leaded glass.
These various creative journeys are the roots and inspiration for Jesse’s development as an artist. For the past ten years this creative adventure has been finding its way onto canvas.
Jesse paints meticulously spending weeks on end perfecting his bold oversized works. Most recently, his ideas have exploded off the canvas, as they sprawl effortlessly through hand carved wood and sparkling leaded glass. The creativity flows so cleanly from medium to medium that the energy continues right into the room.
When asked how he developed his unique style and personal vision of fantasy Jesse stated, I don’t like normalness.

Acrylic, Glass and Canvas
Ususally, Jesse paints from his imagination but this is a plein air painting. The view of the canyon is right outside his bedroom window. I think these are his best clouds to date. They really pop off the canvas and drift above the canyon.
