I met Shane Miller online through the Nashville Creative Group, led by Beth Inglish, and had the pleasure of meeting him in person more recently at the Nashville First Saturday Art Crawl.  I hope you might be able to see his work in person at some point...it almost seems to glow (especially his encaustic pieces).

Shane begins his Artist Statement with "Nos•tal•gia: A sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations."  And, I think this is so much of what draws me into his work.  For me, his pieces have a meditative quality, which I am ever finding in my own photographic work.  So, please, take time to really take in Shane's feature.
