Glenn Edward Miller
Glenn is a well-known Ocean Springs artist, who received his
early art training in New Orleans. There he became apprenticed
to the famous etcher Eugene Loving. During his New Orleans
period, Glenn created a now rare and collectable series of
etchings of New Orleans jazz musicians. He received a
BA degree from the University of New Orleans in printmaking
and also attended Tulane Graduate School, where he also studied
printmaking with James Steg. Since 1989 Glenn has created a large series called "The
Ocean Springs Collection," which are signed and numbered
etchings depicting local landmarks. "As an artist-etcher I am proud to have created a completely
hand crafted print. My etchings are all done directly
from life and the image is scratched on the zinc plate thru
an acid resistant paint. Then immersed in an acid where
the image becomes etched into the plate. I remove the
coatings, hand ink the plate, wipe it, then slowly print it
on a high pressure press. The plate is re-inked and wiped
for each impression. I then hand tint to insure the unique
originality of each print. For more information, call the artist at 288-872-2585.
Glenn Miller's home and artwork were devastated by Katrina.
