Debbie Miller

Debbie is a late-bloomer when it comes to painting — though her friends & family would probably say that she has always bloomed in other creative ways – making beautiful spaces, offering hospitality, designing colorful and tasty meals, and dabbling in a variety of crafts that let her amass shamefully huge stashes of yarn, fabric, and mixed media art supplies over the years.

After several decades as an environmental consultant to state and local governments, she decided to follow her heart into the helping professions. Now she is a licensed mental health counselor, spiritual director and creative depth coach, in addition to being a passionate artist and art educator.

Debbie’s journey into painting really began in March 2016, when she was introduced to the Daily Painting Movement. She discovered – at 58 years old – that if you practice something every day, you really do get better (and have more fun). Debbie and Brian (her husband and creativity co-conspirator) were hooked! Now they can’t imagine their lives without this rich discipline.

Debbie has a heart for helping people discover the ways in which they are creative and take steps forward in expressing that creativity. She believes that art is a source of joy, beauty and delight. But it is also a sacred storyteller that can help us heal and grow as individuals and communities. She is an Adjunct Faculty member at The Crealdé School of Art in Winter Park, FL, as well as a member of Jeanne Oliver’s Creative Network, and a part of Olga Furman’s Paint Your Heart and Soul artist collective.
