Robin J. Miller

Cape Cod, MA has become home to the Millers since their retirement in 2012. These days Robin Joyce Miller has been creating a Black Lives Matter Series for Cotuit Center for the Arts. Together she and her husband, James Walter Miller, perform in these multimedia slideshow presentations. She is also a resident artist at Zion Union Heritage Museum.

Miller is a Native New Yorker who received a B.S. in early childhood education from Baruch College and an M.S. in learning disabilities from Lehman College. She studied fine art at a variety of schools including the New York School of Interior Design, Parson’s School of Design, Manhattanville College, College of New Rochelle and LaGuardia Community College’s Sabbatical Program for teachers.

Robin retired from the NYC school system after a little more than 30 successful and joyous years of teaching. She was a special education teacher for the first half of her career and ended as a highly celebrated art educator. During her years as a teacher of visual arts, Robin became a facilitator for NYC’s Blueprint for the Arts and earned the honors of both NYC and NY State Region 8 Art Educator of the Year. She has conducted art workshops for teachers across the city in many venues including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and MOMA – the Museum of Modern Art.
Robin has also developed as a professional artist, author, illustrator and poet. In 1992 she created a print ad for Pepsi honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. under the pseudonym, r.j. scribbles.

Robin co-authored, The Faithful Journey – From Slavery to Presidency, with her husband, James W. Miller. She also wrote and illustrated Who Do You Say That I Am – A Man Called Jesus with paintings inspired by Ethiopian Christian art. Miller specializes in African American Heritage art and poetry. Paintings from her book, A Humble Village, have been exhibited in the Brooklyn Children’s Museum and the African American Museum of Hempstead, NY.
None of this could be possible, if not for God’s Grace and the support of a loving family that definitely includes her mother who has always been a beacon of light, faith and encouragement. She also credits her St. Albans Congregational Church family for their support and continuous opportunities for inspiration.
