Work: Heads Full of Rocks, Volume 1 Issue 1 Jennifer Miller, Artist Bio: Jennifer Miller's artistic history started as a toddler, a crayon in one hand and dragons on her mind. Since then she has gotten a good bit taller, and has acquired a great many more crayons. Her home is in the foothills of western NY State where she spent most of her childhood roaming around the woods, playing with birds and lizards, and doing her best to draw them. She is immensely interested in the natural world around her and draws great inspiration from it. Currently she lives with her husband, four parrots, and a myriad of tropical fish. She still takes time to roam the woods whenever possible. She has a particular fascination with flight and flighted creatures, and they are a reoccurring theme in her pieces.
