“I think art really makes people happy and gives them something to relate to. Something new and pleasing on your wall can really make your day and lift your spirits.” – Tim Miller, Owner, Blowing Rock Frameworks and Gallery 70

n an unassuming corner of Blowing Rock, there sits a little shop on the corner filled to the brim with beautiful artwork of all kinds. If you take a saunter through the rooms, you will be greeted by paintings and sculptures from many esteemed artists like Wiili Armstrong, Elliott Daingerfield, Lita Gatlin, George Snyder and countless others. But amongst the walls adorned with interesting artwork of all mediums, one will find an even more interesting man. Tim Miller, owner of Blowing Rock Frameworks and Gallery in Blowing Rock is celebrating 20 years of success in the art world, and he shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. “I am originally from here, Boone,” Miller said on a rainy Monday afternoon in the gallery. The local art connoisseur, now expertly adjusting an Elliot Daingerfield painting on the wall, grew up in the High Country, and when he finally left the area it was to travel for his work. “I guess I traveled quite a lot when I was younger,” Miller said. “I went to 33 countries while I worked for Sunoco Oil Company based in Pennsylvania. I got to see some pretty cool places along the way.”
