BARBARA E. MILLER

Artists Profile

I am an eclectic artist, creative writer and transpersonal coach.  My preferred medium is abstract art, watercolour and figurative drawing. 

In 2021, I presented Mindfulness for Creativity workshops and progressed my portfolio with watercolour paintings at the Lakehouse Studio Canberra.

I was born in Sydney, and worked as a teacher, art therapist and psychologist in Canberra. I have degrees in arts, science, and adult education and studied visual arts at the School of Art and Design (ANU) Canberra.
