Design Spotlight: E.R. Miller

Today, our Design Spotlight is shining on artist E.R. Miller (Eileen Rudisill Miller, aka Rudy Miller) – I really like her style, and I’m sure  you will, too! This particular design puts me in mind of Mucha.

The card I selected is one of my favorite images, a beautiful forest fairy. I’ve always loved the pre-Raphaelite painters and their depiction of subjects from mythology and fairy tales. Though I don’t compare my style to theirs’ I do enjoy exploring those themes in my work.  I also love this color palette. For me, a greeting card is not always about the words. I love cards with pretty pictures on them.

I have been making a living as an artist since I graduated  from Moore College of Art in 1977. I was trained as a fashion illustrator and worked for department stores illustrating fashion for 10 years. I then transitioned into product design and worked at The Franklin Mint for 14 years designing dolls and figurines. 10 years ago, I started my business, E.R.Miller Designs. I work from my home studio, designing giftware for clients such as Lenox, illustrating children’s activity books and paper doll books for Dover Publications, and creating greeting cards and self-published paper dolls.
