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.
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.
In addition to her personal artistic practice, 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 and Brian developed They Make Art University, a learning platform dedicated to offering high-quality online and in-person art education to artists at all levels of experience and confidence.
Though she retired from her licensed mental health counseling practice in April 2023, Debbie continues to provide soul care through creative depth coaching, expressive art workshops, and individual and group spiritual direction.
She is a Member Artist at McRae Art Studios in Orlando, Florida.
