Charles Henry Miller, N.A., Painter of Long Island

Long Island, located just east of New York City, has been the home of many great artists over the past three centuries. Though most were not native to this place, few showed more devotion and love for the Island than the painter, Charles Henry Miller. Throughout his sixty year career, Miller made it his mission to promote Long Island to his many associates in the New York art world. It was his favorite place to be, whether sketching, painting, or writing prose.
 
Respected for his artistic abilities, Charles Henry Miller served on many institutional boards during his career and was awarded major prizes for his paintings that depicted the region. Important for their artistic merit alone, Miller's paintings and sketches were praised for their ability to impart the rich history of Long Island in a manner available to a wide audience.
