This image was painted during a time of deep depression. As an artist with bipolar disorder, I often use my art as therapy. I find that expressing my emotions through art helps me to push out the demons that come from the struggle of depression. In this piece, I was searching for a way to pull myself out of the darkness. I was struggling with the loss of my father and the loss of my job at the same time which seems to pile on the struggle I was already having with the cyclic nature of bipolar disorder.
Cindy Miller is a multi-faceted artist hailing from Huntsville, AL. Her artistic journey began while working as a graphic designer and studying art at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. In her thirties, she embraced her love for archaeology, earning a degree in Anthropology/Archaeology from the University of Colorado in Boulder, where she lived for a decade.
In 2007, Cindy's path led her to NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC, where she served as Program Manager for the Graphic Contract. However, her roots beckoned her back to Huntsville Alabama in 2015, and she established her art studio in the Lowe Mill Arts and Entertainment complex, where she currently resides and creates full-time.
