ABOUT THE ARTIST
Thomas Miller was born and raised in Southeastern Wisconsin. He began entering drawing contests at a young age and as his artistic abilites matured, his love for animals did as well.
It only seemed appropriate that the two should eventually come together, creating heart warming and daily life depictions of America's rural life and the relationships between human and beast.
His use of light, shadow and color evokes a feeling of mood for the viewer. The subjects within the scenes spark familiarity for those who are in or from the country. Those who have no rural ties often find a quiet appreciation for what is depicted and his images can even draw out a longing for the rural lifestyle.
Today, his work can be found in various galleries and gift shops throughout the Midwest. His images hang in the Michigan State University Pavillion, the Alliant Energy Center and Coliseum in Madison, WI the Waverly Draft Horse and Livestock Sale Headquarters in Iowa and the Anheuser-Busch Clydesdale Stables in St. Louis Missouri. His original painting "Belgian Beauty" was selected for exhibition at the International Museum of the Horse located at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY. His work has also been featured on the cover of Ritchie Industries livestock supply catalogs. He is a regular contributor to numerous livestock and agricultural organizations and has alliances with The Belgian Draft Horse Corporation of America, The Percheron Draft Horse Assocation of America and the Professional Dairy Producers of America to name a few. He and his family live in the Northwoods of Wisconsin on Rolling Thunder Farms - a Percheron draft horse farm - inspiring many of his paintings.
