\r\ngreat-grandmother, his mother, and his older sister. His love for art started at the age of five
\r\nwhen he began spending countless hours wandering through art museums and art galleries in
\r\nHouston with his mother.
\r\nThree years after graduating from high school, Miles entered the Marine Corp during the
\r\nescalation of the Vietnam war. His artistic ability was soon recognized, and he was assigned the
\r\nposition of an illustrator, creating nose art for jet fighter squadrons and helicopter groups.
\r\nAfter finishing his service obligation, he began a career in Class \u201cA\u201d Commercial
\r\nconstruction. After a few years, he realized that his true passion was in the field of art. He then
\r\nleft construction to pursue a full-time sculpturing career. For the next 35 years, he did freelance
\r\nand commission work for numerous Movie Stars and large corporations including Disney World.
\r\nHowever, his passion from a very young age was to become a bronze sculptor. He was then
\r\ncommissioned by a patron to create his first bronze eagle. His talent for fine detail was revealed
\r\nin this newfound medium. Inspired by Michelangelo\u2019s marble Pieta\u2019, he directed all of his
\r\nattention to telling the story of Jesus, from the Bible. The stories from the Bible seem to come
\r\nto life when you can see a beautiful painting or a life-like sculpture of the many miracles and
\r\nGodly events.
\r\nMiles has had the opportunity to create sculptures for the Grand Floridian Hotel in Disney World, as well as commissioned work for several celebrities.
\r\n
\r\nMiles work is best known for his attention to detail and realism. Although he is skilled in sculpting almost any subject, he has become well known for his work in the wildlife arena. Some of his larger pieces stand over twenty feet tall.
\r\n
\r\nMiles is happily married and a father of five. They have eleven grandchildren. He and his wife currently live in Northern Nevada.
