Biography
Eva Hamlin Miller (b. 1911 in Brooklyn, New York - 1991) was an artist from Greensboro, North Carolina. She grew up in New York City and studied at the Pratt Institute, Columbia University, the Graduate School of Fine Art in Florence and the University of Ibadan in Nigeria before moving to North Carolina.
She became the first art instructor at Bennett College in 1937, and went on to have a long career as an educator, holding positions at the Tuskegee Institute, Winston-Salem State University, and North Carolina A&T State University, as well as the Greensboro city schools.
Along with former student and Greensboro politician Alma Adams, Miller helped cofound the African American Atelier in 1990. She served as its curator until her death in 1991.
