Miller spent decades working as a farmer and cotton mill worker, and was an ordained minister in the Free Will Baptist Church. After being stricken by glaucoma in his early sixties, he retired and began to create artwork to spread his spiritual message. He uses paint and magic marker on tin to create pictures of bizarre and ancient animals, dinosaurs, flags, self-portraits, angels, and devils. His whimsical and colorful tin cutouts are enormously popular and have been widely exhibited.
