Bio

Miles Starkey is an artist and creative based in Austin, Texas. Born to a pioneer woman and the town doctor, the importance of community was instilled in him at a young age, pushing him to find creative ways to connect and communicate with the world around him. Over time, he began to hone in on his practice, creating work that reflected his refreshingly positive view on life. When he's not creating his own artwork, Miles serves as the Executive Director to an international arts nonprofit where he challenges his fellow artists to use their work as a means to enact change in their respective communities. His creative process has no rhyme or reason, but he does believe strongly in sharing happiness and inspiration with others. In the words of Dolly Parton, "if you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours!"
