John Paul Miller

Since listening to National Public Radio and learning about other local artists (posted below) I looked through the Society of North American Goldsmiths Member Directory and found out the John Paul Miller lives only a few miles from me. I have posted images of his granulated jewelry below. He has won many awards and his work is owned by the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution, the Museum of Contemporary Arts and Design in New York City, and so on.




I wish all jewelry could have so much care and detail. I decided since he lived so close by to write him a note and tell him that he is an inspiration. I only hope that it will brighten his day.
