Danae Miller
562
At one point in her life, Danae Bennett Miller almost gave up on art. Fortunately she didn’t and now she’s producing one-of-a-kind bronze sculptures that amaze everyone who sees them. OREGON ART BEAT visits her at her horse ranch and studio in Tumalo to find out how she uses wax, not to create a mold, but to produce a very free form of sculpture that exudes energy.
