“From
concept to completion, she was imaginative, efficient and flexible as
the conditions demanded. She worked long hours under challenging circumstances

“It is with great pleasure that I am writing to
endorse Sunny Miller’s application to your program. Ms. Miller was responsible
for painting the ceiling murals in lobby of the Fairmont Coopley Plaza
Hotel 20 years ago. While I did not personally have the opportunity
to work with Ms. Miller during that time our colleagues and guests have
admired the lasting, lively piece of art we still enjoy.”

by her artistic skills, judgement and professionalism. … Sunny will
be an asset to any organization lucky enough to attract her to their
cause. ”

“… Whether they be Ghiberti's glowing brass doors
to the Baptistry, or the astonishing carved wood altars by Riemenschneider,
it's the challenge of making a shallow composition come alive with the
suggestion of deep space that inspires many artists to their best work.
Sunny Miller's panels depicting the life of a younger Abraham Lincoln
rise to this challenge. The use of rich detail and gesture within the
relatively flat panels makes the imagery hover pleasingly between a
skillfully rendered drawing that pulls us inward, and a carefully carved
sculptural grouping that pushes out into our personal space. It is this
dynamic balance between "falling into" and "pushing out"
that makes relief a most appropriate medium for the story of a younger
Lincoln…”
