About Autumn Justine Miller

Autumn Justine Miller (Formerly Justin D. Miller) is a Chicago area self-taught acrylic artist and painter who creates images that fuse elements of Lowbrow, Pop Surrealism, and Dystopia. She loves to combine warm and fuzzy subjects with dark overtones, Halloween, and Goth style.

After graduation from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Autumn lived on the West Coast for 7 years before returning to the Chicago. She has spent most of her professional career in graphic design, specializing in ecommerce and photographic manipulation. Autumn began painting as a hobby to satisfy her need for creative output, and does her work from a Chicago area basement studio. Besides her creative endeavors, she has two daughters, is a fitness enthusiast, an urban explorer of Chicago's many neighborhoods, and traveler who does landscape photography.

In 2024 Autumn began an exciting new stage in her life by identifying as female and taking a new name.  Since then, her art has been more colorful and playful, a trend that will continue as her art evolves.  Eventually she may even start to look like one of the girls that frequently appear of her paintings.
