‘Genesis 1’ Oils, $300 each, by Marilyn Miller, 208-878-7540

Marilyn Miller’s sunny studio is in the side yard of the home she grew up in. Her parents built it for her in 1991 before they died. Although she does still lifes and landscape paintings, much of Miller’s most striking work is religious in nature. Her series “Genesis 1”depicts abstract scenes from the first book of the Bible. While visiting Miller’s studio, make sure to say hi to her chi- huahua, Lily. If you’re lucky, the diminutive dog will treat you to her soprano singing. Looks like Miller isn’t the only talented one in the family.
