Erin Miller (she/her) is a Houston, Texas–based artist whose practice extends from printmaking into painting, drawing, textiles, and sculptural installation. She treats print as a conceptual framework rooted in repetition, layering, and the shifting boundary between image and material, drawing on ornamental sources like textiles and dyed fabrics to build a theatrical sensibility of color, pattern, and atmosphere. Through a process she calls "alchemy gone awry," Miller breaks images apart and reintroduces them through successive printed moves, producing nonlinear visual rhythms akin to dream recall — forms that accumulate, dissolve, and reappear, hovering between recognition and ambiguity.
Miller earned her MFA from Cornell University (2022), where she received the Kip Brady Memorial Prize in Printmaking and the John Hartell Graduate Award in Studio Excellence. She completed the Kahn Family Fellowship at The Ink Shop (Ithaca, NY) in 2023, served as Printmaking Area Lab Manager at the University of Texas at Austin (2023–2026), and is an artist member of MASS Gallery in Austin. She is currently a Professor of Practice in Printmaking at the University of Houston
