Every brushstroke has a bit of wanderlust in it, and together they’re always leading me somewhere new. Think of this page as a little map of my artistic adventures — a trail of colors, wings, and wonder. Here you can peek at the exhibits, talks, and gatherings where my work will flutter next. Follow along, and perhaps we’ll meet on the path. You can always find the latest breadcrumbs at tobidannemiller.com or subscribe using the prompt below.

🦋 The Pretty Appalachian Pollinators are taking flight.
All original watercolor paintings will be crossing the mountains to downtown Harrisonburg, Virginia. There, they’ll find a very special new home at Hess Financial — celebrating the grand opening of their beautifully renovated space at 306 E. Market Street.
The collection will be featured as part of Harrisonburg’s beloved First Fridays of the Valley, bringing Appalachian butterflies and moths to a vibrant new audience in the Shenandoah Valley. I’m deeply honored to partner with Hess Financial as they open this exciting new chapter — their commitment to community and the arts makes them a perfect home for these paintings.
From the mountains of West Virginia to the streets of downtown Harrisonburg — the pollinators are ready for their next adventure.
