There he spent six years working as a freelance illustrator, creating imagery for such clients as Time, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Random House, GRP Records, just to name a few. After returning to the West Coast in ‘96, he continued to paint and show New York-inspired cityscapes which were very well received, but as he no longer lived in the big city, his art began to change as well. In 2001 his family moved to Fair Oaks, CA where he was immersed in the diverse landscapes of Northern California With the mountains and hills of the Sierras and the rivers and valleys all around him, he turned to landscape painting which opened a whole new world of creative endeavors. Currently he is working on a series of landscapes which explore the relationship between memory, emotions and identity. “Although they’re still very much representational,” says Miura, “they’re not about specific locations. His works are represented by Thomas Reynolds Gallery in San Francisco, Anne Irwin Gallery in Atlanta, and Anne Loucks Gallery in Chicago. Judge: Kathleen Dunphy Named one of the Top Ten Emerging Artists by American Artist magazine, Kathleen Dunphy has successfully turned her passion into a new career. In the nine years since closing her floral design business to devote herself to art, her work has garnered numerous awards. Kathleen is an accomplished landscape painter, receiving the top award in the Acadia Invitational Exhibition in Bar Harbor, Maine in ‘06, and has been accepted three times into the Oil Painters of America Annual Exhibition where she received an Award of Excellence.
