Solimar Miller

Solimar is a textile designer, artist, colorist and printmaker. She is known for her large scale custom carpet designs for luxury hotels and homes, as well as commissioned textile and surface designs for international high-end home furnishing brands. The natural world is her inspiration and concern, with an interest in trees, flora and climate change. Having lived in Dubai for over 20 years, her focus has been on documenting the infinite beauty of the region’s indigenous trees. In 2018, Solimar started work on a series of drawings and hand silk-screening prints of the majestic tree species present in the UAE. Experimenting with different mediums and printing techniques to illuminate the vulnerability posed by global warming drives her to capture as much detail as possible. Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Solimar holds a BFA in Textile / Surface Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. She studied illustration at Parsons School of Design. She is a member of Tashkeel.
