About the artist,
Anita Miller....
Anita began to study drawing and painting to aid in her work of making vestments and paraments. As she made progress in her skills, her work expanded to creating temporary and permanent liturgical installations in churches. As a liturgical artist, Anita's philosophy is that her work reflect the community she is serving. As she creates works for others, whether it be a private commission for a portrait, or a large scale memorial, Anita believes she is a visual translator for the community.
Because her work is a reflection of those she is serving, communication is vital. Input from families and friends of the Fallen Marines is key to creating the most accurate representation of these wonderful men, as they walked physically on the earth. Therefore it is with great reverence and respect that Anita requests families and friends and fellow Marines to participate in the process. Please feel free to call her, email her or mail her your insights, any information you think would be helpful in honoring these men will be appreciated. All information will be treated with respect and confidentiality. Please go to the contact page to reach Anita.

she works outdoors, painting quickly to capture the light, atmospheric and
weather effects in her paintings. She has travelled in the US and
Canada, Italy, France, England, Greece and the Netherlands to paint the
landscape. She taught on the Greek Island of Paros in September of
2006.
