MY RATING: 0.00
Jazz and Classical.
Trained as an opera singer.

I read alot. Collete was my favorite as a young adult. So was Carlos Constanedas, then Ram Dass. After that I stopped paying attention.

Give me Woody Allen. He's my hero. Although some may turn from me in disgust, what do I care? I'm in love.


There are no blogs submitted!





In addition to being a fine artist, I am a jazz singer. If you are interested go to my other web site. www.RobertaMiles.com and listen or CD Baby. I've been a jazz singer in Chicago for a long time, longer then I've been a respected artist in Chicago. I also write monologues and will be doing a one woman show in June 2008. (in Chicago) I am firmly rooted in Chicago as you can see. But I'm willing to take it all on the road.

writing my monologues and teaching art to preteens and adults,being creative and talking
to my best friends

pettyness,gossip,stupidity, people who are ignorant about creativity, mothers who pick up their children from art class and don't appreciate the work that was done or the effort put into it

Who has time?? No, really.

Thanks for clearing up the confusion on your comment(s) and thanks also for the compliment on the abstracts. Today I begin the metallic abstract...not sure where to start other than putting paint on the canvas so hopefully once I get going something will take shape. Fingers and toes are crossed...

Looking forward to seeing more abstracts from you.

Hello Roberta! Thanks for your nice comments about my work.  I am new to this site, so it is nice to know that my work is being seen.  I really like your paintings.  The layering of pigment is incredibly well done, and altogether creates very peaceful artwork.  Keep up the good work!

Hi Roberta, your paintings have a very soft flow to them.. I try to create that feeling in my paintings too.


I am also from Chicago originally (grew up in Wilmette, lived on the North Side post college, married someone from New England and moved here, 22 yrs later got divorced and hope to be moving back to Chicago in the near future to be back to my roots!) All of my family is there and although I have established a reputation in the art community where I live now I am dreading having to start over in Chicago. Maybe our paths will cross...

Thanks for the compliment about my abstracts. After a couple recent realistic paintings I'm looking forward to the abstract I'm going to be working on this week for a customer. It's going to be all in metallic paint.

Your astracts have a moody feel to them. Your way of bringing jazz music to life through paint rather than sound possibly?

You must clarify...what you were talking about when you said "titles"...the art or the music? Looked like your fingers were working faster than your head for a moment : )

Hi Roberta,

Thank you for your beautiful compliments on my work. Your acrylic works have a mystical quality as Gregory said; they must be wondrous in person. I hope to see more soon.

Warm Regards, David

Here is a link, hope it works.  Most of his work has a trace of realism, but some of his later work became almost completely abstract.  He was big on Geothe's color theories, and has become popular among painters working with Rudolf Steiners suggestions of painting "out of color" .

Thanks for the tip.  I atually have a little background image I set up for  my  blog, but it won't open in scuttlebutt...I will tweak it  soon and  change it.  Are you a fan of Turner's late work?

I imagine your work to really vibrate in person.  On the web, I can only guess at the size and effect, as the thumbnails don't really do justice to your beautiful work.
