Arthur K. Miller


About the Artist


Hailing from coastal New Jersey, Arthur K. Miller was set on his road to becoming a portrait painter of legendary professional baseball players by one simple, random act: his father, seeking to protect his son's fair complexion, planted a New York Giants cap on his head at the tender age of four. Combined with the fact that he displayed artistic acumen from the moment he could grip a drawing utensil, Miller was well on his way. After moving from New York City to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Miller began painting ballplayers full-time in 1990, specializing in portraits of players whose careers happened before the advent and modern development of color photography.

Miller was encouraged early on, most notably, by Ted Spencer, the curator at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Al Rosen, then the general manager of the San Francisco Giants. His work has appeared in many publications, most notably Yearbooks for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and the Ted Williams Hitters Hall of Fame, as well as publications published by SABR including book jackets and research journals.
