Professor Miller brings to her photographic work and her teaching a broad background in research-driven creative work and a love of interdisciplinary practice. She is also committed to animal welfare issues, especially those affecting thoroughbred ex-racehorses, of which she owns four.
A long-standing interest in the photographic social document and in ephemeral remnants of American culture underlies Professor Miller's work. 从1995年到2004年, she completed a series of photographs taken in state capitols titled: "政治家 - Pictures from the Fifty State Capitols", where she photographed and re-interpreted the portraits of former governors from each of the fifty states, creating a personal Hall of Governors, a collection of salesmen, matinee idols and fools, as well as respected ordinary men. Her more recent works include the audio/video installation "Lay Down Your Bandoliers", and two in-progress short documentary film 项目s.
