Rebecca Miller

  • Rebecca Miller has a lifelong fascination with letterforms, calligraphy, and typography, working as a filmmaker, animator and graphic designer.  She has turned her creative eye to art pieces, called ligatures, rendered as collage and as bas relief constructions. No text, no quote, nor written meaning is hidden in the abstract type. The suggestion of languages, the cascade of ideas, and the beauty of the letterform parts, are to be found in the abstractions.

  • Rebecca is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, majoring in film and video, class of 1978.  As a documentary filmmaker, she produced original research on the filmmaker Robert Flaherty and the stonecutter, designer, and calligrapher John Howard Benson.  The founder of Optik Nerve, Inc. since 1995, she has produced, directed, edited, written, and designed hundreds of high-impact programs for major corporations, agencies and universities.   She began her career in television, working for national broadcasters and the internationally recognized host, Sir David Frost. She lives in Jamestown, Rhode Island is married to the scientist Donald R. Sadoway.
