Orlando, FL native, Jaclyn Miller is about a month into an adventure. After finishing her undergrad in central Florida she's migrated to the mid-west's most happening city, Chicago.
Displayed above are works from her senior thesis exhibition. Using vintage and seemingly antiquated televisions as her canvas, Jaclyn delivers a slideshow of portrait and candid familial circumstances. "My biggest goal when I'm making work is to keep myself surprised and engaged with both the idea and the final product," she says. "I like to work with non-traditional media, and the tvs were my first serious venture into that interest. In future projects I'm considering mirrors, continuing some earlier works on records, and using other types of supports that can offer more to the piece than strictly a working surface (as the static did for the television pieces)."

Jaclyn looks into the human form, and represents the human creature ambiguously through the use of silhouette, missing facial expressions, and bright and unnatural colors. She rides a bright yellow road bike named "Godwin", and prefers comic books to romance novels--which may have something to do with her choice of bright, flat color planes and outlined figures.
