Biographical notes:

Thomas H.E. Miller (1920- ) has worked as a successful visual artist as well as a graphic designer. While stationed abroad during World War II, Miller sold oil paintings in England, France, and Belgium. He was known for using the monotype technique, a subtractive technique in which pigment is removed from paint-coated glass. After World War II, Miller moved to Chicago where he formally studied art for the first time at the Ray Vogue School of Art. He received his degree in design in 1950. Also in 1950, he was one of two African Americans accepted into the Society of Typographic Arts. After working for a short time as a commercial artist for Gerstel/Loeff, Miller joined Morton Goldsholl Associates, an internationally renowned design firm. He worked there as a graphic designer for thirty-five years on projects including the 1970 redesign of the 7-UP packaging and identity. After his retirement, Miller focused his efforts on the creation of mosaic portraits. In 1995, Miller's mosaic portraits of the DuSable Museum's eight founders were permanently installed in the museum's lobby. Miller's portrait of Chicago's late mayor Harold Washington is also part of the permanent collection of the DuSable Museum.
