About the Artist

Frances Miller, born in 1921, was a daughter of an eminent orthodox rabbi, dedicated to her Jewish identity, and a creative, artistic woman integrated in the modern art world. Her family life was grounded in tradition, practice, and study. In high school, she attended Prozdor at Hebrew College, where she completed four years of advanced training. She also graduated from Massachusetts College of Art, where she was trained in fine arts and technical design.

How did she balance these two worlds?
