at the age of 16, Aimee Miller

happened across a tiny

homemade chapel in the hills

of Austria.  Extraordinarily

ornate, but crafted from

the most pedestrian objects,

the altar lodged itself

in her brain sparking a

a lifelong obsession with

religious iconography,

folk art, and grandiose display.

Essentially a self taught

artist, she has been creating

collage, assemblage and

large scale installations

in her native city of

Portland, Oregon

for the last 35 years.
