I was interviewed recently for an article, "Sculpture Masquerading as Furniture', Color, Juxtapositions, and More.", for online arts magazine Or Does It Explode. The interview was conducted by Tasha Mathew and she presented me with an array of thought provoking questions. She quarried me about my background, the meaning of color in my work, my connection to fabrics, and my search for identity. She wrote an insightful introduction to the interview which showed that she had spent some time considering my art. I appreciated the time spent with my work. Thank you, Tasha!

Saks Fifth Ave blog has interviewed me for their new series titled, "Ravishing Rooms". It is to grant readers a sneak peak into the homes of some of their favorite designers, tastemakers and industry insiders. An interesting feature, the writer, Alex Patino states my work has a touch of 1950's Googie Architecture and hints of Schiaparelli bombast. Hmmm. I like that. Why don't you see for yourself?
Thank you to photog Craig Arend.

The Apryl Miller Interview at E-ratio /
Being a preacher's daughter, I have a lot to say and sometimes I get to say it. I had the good fortune to be interviewed by the wonderful Gregory Vincent St. Thomasino last month, for his poetry journal, name of E-ratio. We covered a lot of territory, therapy, art, colors, and oh, yes, some poetry. I hope you enjoy it. A big thank you to Gregory for giving me this pulpit, if you will.
