BIOGRAPHY
Jean Miller Harding was born into an artistic family in the Niagara region of Ontario, Canada. Besides the love of art, there was an intense interest in the form and functioning of the human body. She received her undergraduate degree degree in science and fine art history, (specializing in the European masters of the Renaissance). Miller-Harding entered the Faculty of Medicine programme in Medical Art at the University of Toronto, graduating with honours and receiving the highest award for her artwork. She then had a successful career as a freelance commercial medical illustrator in North America for the next 15 years.
During that time, Jean illustrated over 400 magazine covers, worked with National Geographic on a book entitled "The Incredible Machine". She has also helped produce many international award winning advertising campaigns for the pharmaceutical industry.
During this time, she also studied portraiture with John Howard Sanden at the Portrait Institute in New York City and classical realism in Florence Italy with Maestro Michael John Angel - a student of Pietro Annigoni. In 1988, Jean Miller Harding received her first portrait commission. A successful career as a portrait artist was launched. In 1994, Jean was asked to participate in a group show in Jakarta, Indonesia, sponsored by the Canadian Embassy. This prompted the beginning of work in figurative and still life fine art. Miller-Harding works from her studios in Canada and in France.
