Megan Miller is a painter based in Stillwater, Minnesota, whose work is deeply rooted in the  landscapes of the Midwest. She grew up in River Falls, Wisconsin, surrounded by open fields  and rural scenery—an early influence that continues to shape her connection to place and nature.

Megan primarily works en plein air, painting directly from life with oils. Her work reflects a  thoughtful approach to observation, composition, and atmosphere, developed through years of  dedicated outdoor and studio practice. She has studied with Kim Casebeer and Kami Mendlik  and has taken a class at MISA in 2016 with Marc Hanson. In 2025, she was awarded an

Exceptional Merit Award in the Open Class at the Grand Marais Plein Air Event.

She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art with a concentration in Interior Design from UW–Stout and  discovered a lasting commitment to outdoor painting during a study-abroad experience in  London. In addition to her fine art training, Megan brings a mindfulness-based approach to her  teaching, influenced by her background in yoga and nervous system regulation.

Megan offers workshops and individual instruction focused on slowing down, seeing clearly, and  developing a personal painting voice. Her teaching style is supportive, observant, and grounded  in both technique and presence. She also creates commissioned work, collaborating closely with  clients to produce meaningful, site-inspired paintings.
