Artist Ben Miller
Ben Miller is a Montana-based artist known for his Fly-Cast Paintings of rivers, created using a fly rod instead of a traditional brush. Working on clear plexiglass, Miller casts thousands of paint-loaded marks to build each work in reverse, recording the surface, movement, and depth of living waterways.
His practice draws equally from fly fishing, performance, and abstraction, uniting physical discipline with sustained observation.
