Bio

Caleb Miller is an Artist and Educator. Brooklyn born, and always having strong family connections to New York City, Miller lived in a few different states as a child before his family settled in Oberlin, Ohio. This exposure helped him to understand the diversity of Black communities. There are infinite ways to be African American and Miller’s work explores the Black experience. Inspired by others' work and stories, Caleb works in many mediums: Ceramics, Photography, Woodworking, Video, and Audio production. He works in different materials because diverse experiences deserve to be expressed in distinct ways. His work encourages conversations about race and promotes new narratives about Blackness in America. The work is made to confront and process racism, both small micro aggressions and larger institutional issues.

After graduating from Oberlin College with a B.A. in Visual Arts with a concentration in African American Studies in 2003, Caleb returned to Brooklyn, earned a M.S. Degree in Education from Hunter College, and began teaching and creating art. During the last 20 years Miller has taught in a number of Brooklyn based organizations sharing the joy of self expression through art with children and adults. Caleb currently resides in the East Flatbush with his wife, two daughters, mother, and dog. He has most recently been working on a series in ceramics.
