Biography
edit"Heart of Detroit said "Chazz Miller was born to be an artist. But like many kids from the inner city he did not have the support at home to move to the next level."[5] So, moved to [[Columbus, Ohio]] to study painting and advertizing at the Columbus College of Art and Design (1981-1986). Chazz stated in his personal biography, "My artwork takes a satirical view of social, political and cultural issues. In my work, I deconstruct the psychology of subliminal suggestion, fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and religion, that make up our culture." Having explored a diverse range of subjects such as the [[civil rights movement]], World Cup Soccer, Blues and world history. My work represents 50 years of visual experience, creating and developing those experiences into my life's work, has been sheer joy and pain. The focus of art is to project my inner vision into the world, in the form of Public Art in form of large outdoor murals.''[6]
In 2010 Chazz Miller and several volunteers painted plywood cutouts of butterflies as part of the "Papillion Effect" ("Papillon" is French for butterfly"), an anti-blight campaign. Miller added several butterflies to the nature trail at Howell Park.[7]
