The award is given for excellence in communications and special service to the organization. Miller, a former Elizabeth borough resident, is a professional photographer, photo journalist and communications specialist who has been a member of WPCI since 2009.
Miller owns Frames, Phrases & Photography by Kendal, LLC, which she operates out of the Ohio County farmhouse she shares with husband Lenny. In her day job she is executive director of Rising Sun/Ohio County Tourism.
Miller was born in the small river town of Elizabeth, PA, and obtained a business degree from Duff’s Business Institute in Pittsburgh. She has won more than 30 awards for her Fine Art Photography. She was designated an official Indiana Artisan in a program started by Lt. Governor Becky Skillman in 2008. Her work has been shown in many galleries throughout Indiana and in Florida and Kentucky.
She has accomplished all this despite suffering from an inherited neurological condition called cervical dystonia, which is controlled by injections, and severe hearing loss. Always upbeat and smiling, Miller is a lover of beauty wherever she encounters it, whether in nature or in people.
“She is always there, always helpful and despite some medical problems she is willing to do whatever she can to help,” said nominator Julie Slaymaker, a past president of the organization.
