Jesse Miller

 

 

Jesse Miller has been called the Norman Rockwell of the North Shore, and the Andrew Wyeth of the West Coast.  As a surfer, diver, lifeguard, and an overall beach enthusiast it is only natural his art would reflect his love of the ocean. Jesse Miller was born and grew up surfing in in San Diego. He always wanted to go to Hawaii where the water was warm, and the waves were good. When he started thinking about college, he learned about Brigham Young University-Hawaii, and couldn't imagine going anywhere else. BYU-H is a small university in Laie, exactly 10 miles from Sunset Beach. He looked at all the programs they offered, and the Fine Arts program looked good. Before that, he hadn't ever really thought about art, much less producing it. But, once he got to school, he threw himself into everything head first. The surf was everything he had imagined and more, and the art program was exactly what he hoped for. He started out like any beginning art student would, but persisted and practiced and by the time he graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Art degree, he was winning awards in the college art shows.
