Self Portrait at 5 Years Old, Acrylic, Jessel Miller

June 2020
The journey to my current work was built on a lifetime of self discovery and personal growth both in life and art.

A great force is at work on the planet constantly, yet the current state of the earth is moving me to express the deepest echo reverberating around the world.
There is a yearning and pleading voice speaking through me and I consider it a privilege to answer the call.

I had the honor of seeing Oprah in person. The most poignant moment in her speech was a line she said her friend, Gayle said to her when she was complaining about her life. She said "USE ME, USE ME, USE ME." In other words stop complaining and put your powers and potential to work for the good of others.
That has been my mantra for years and is to this day.

Art is a very personal expression. Each of us gravitates to different subjects, styles and mediums, yet the one thread sown, is the desire to silently speak through color, line, design and concept.
2020 is a cornerstone year in my life path. I have taken back my artistic soul and dedicate myself to my heART every single day.

I am not sure the work will resonate with the everyone, yet I am sure that I cannot get in the way of this force of nature pulsing through me and guiding me to my new style I call "Jesselism."

I invite you to take a moment and share your thoughts about the new work. I welcome your truth and hope that in some small way these new images move you, shake you, wake you and make you feel....something.
