Dan Robert Miller specialized in life-sized or larger than life-size free-standing pieces which are often modeled on friends and famous individuals who are deceased, but who at one time had provided him with a vivid visual image. These sculptural portraits are highly polished and usually decorated with a pattern of symbolic details and show the use of multiple images and relationships. Miller’s work also display a respect for the original form of the material from which the carving is made.

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
