Born in Tokyo in 1895, Miller was an American painter, woodblock print artist and poet. She studied modes and techniques associated with the traditional schools of Ja🌳panese painting, and often depicted the landscapes and peoples of the Far East, where she s🐻pent most of her life.

Miller designed prints in the shin-hanga, or ‘revival print’ style that was initiated and greatly promoted by the publisher Watanabe Shozaburo (1885🃏-1962). She first turned to the art of woodblock printing in 1920, while living as🥂 a tenant of the artist Bertha B. Lum (1869-1954). A large part of her oeuvre, including paintings and woodblocks, was destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake of September 1st, 1923.
