About

Sarah Vanasse Miles approaches painting through the lens of philosophy and ethics rather than formal studio training. Earning her Master’s Degree in Social Justice and Ethics from the Iliff School of Theology, Miles brings a deep awareness of history, morality, and human resilience into her practice. Her work in oil painting—rooted in self-taught technique—intertwines art history, religious symbolism, and contemporary scientific thought. This cross-disciplinary background gives her paintings a distinctive voice: one that questions inherited narratives while inviting viewers into moments of stillness, complexity, and reflection on the human condition.
