Artistic Encounters -Meet the Artist essentially takes the artist from behind the camera and welcomes them into the Blue Ridge PBS studio. This provides our arts loving audience the opportunity to meet the featured artist while they introduce their works one on one. Specially curated pieces from their collection will be on display during the reception and for several weeks afterwards with many available to take home by making a donation to Blue Ridge PBS. Additionally, each artist will donate one piece to Blue Ridge PBS which will then be auctioned the night of the artist’s reception. Proceeds benefit the artist and Blue Ridge PBS so it may continue its mission of enriching people’s lives by providing educational, informational, and cultural programming that fills a unique role as a positive and lifelong resource for the communities we serve.
Join us for the next Meet The Artist reception on January 30!
A native to Southwest Virginia, photographer Pippi Miller, is most at peace in the woods, beside a river, or hiking to the peaks of her Blue Ridge Mountains. She finds solace there. Sharing the wonders of the natural world with her son is one of her greatest joys and has inspired her most recent body of work where she tries to commit to "silver" the shifting and ever growing connections of humans, with each other, as well as with the natural world that stands witness to our brief passage through it.
Pippi studied photography at Hollins University and now owns her own art gallery in Blacksburg, VA where her second greatest joy is supporting her local art community in a multitude of ways. From framing to curating to advising and documenting their work it allows her access to all parts of the creative process in not just her own work but in so many others as well!EST
