“I see light, texture, and graphic patterns in everyday objects, such as an artichoke, a rusted piece of metal, or the intricate patterns found in aged concrete or marble. Inspiration is everywhere,” says Buffy Hargett Miller, of Birmingham-based Buffy Hargett Flowers. A photo stylist for Southern Living, Miller also channels her creativity through oil painting.
