Work by Cathey Miller.

Dallas artist Cathey Miller will be showing new work entitled “Prepared Americans” at Kettle Art Gallery. The show runs from June 14 through July 12 with a reception on Saturday, June 14 from 7:00-10:00 PM. Admission is free to the reception and art is available for viewing during regular gallery hours

Cathey Miller's latest paintings depict portraits of women clad in tactical gear, gas masks, ski masks, and American flags inhabiting bunkers and rooms full of video screens. Miller uses bold colors and a painterly style to present a doomsday scenario that is tempered by the occasional orange bicycle, a sweetly smiling face, or a fluorescent jellyfish.

Her inspirations for this new work are the constant stream of violent images on modern computer, television, movie, and gaming screens, and “Are You Ready? A Guide to Citizen Preparedness” issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Miller is a 1985 graduate of Art Center College of Design in Pasadena , CA.
