For 36 years, artisan Catherine Miller has pursued the dying art of intaglio crystal engraving and specializes in original one of a kind heirloom items.

While she was young her family moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida where she fell in love with the ocean and nature. Inspired by her father Andrew, Catherine learned to work in plaster and airbrush at a young age. She also enjoyed drawing, painting and sculpting. Her favorite Masters were Michelangelo and Peter Paul Rubens.

Catherine's inspiration to engrave originated with an article in National Geographic covering the dying art of copper wheel engraving. Perfecting her passion, Catherine achieved her goal of becoming a world class engraver and works without the use of stencils or patterns. By staying true to the old world method of hand engraving into crystal with a variety of stone wheels of different diameters and profiles on a lathe, Catherine  is able to create unique masterpieces with great detail. Several of her pieces have taken close to 200 hours to engrave.

Catherine creates custom Fine Art, Presentation Pieces, Corporate Awards, Wedding, Anniversary gifts, etc.  Her artwork has been presented to 2 U.S. Presidents, World Leaders, Dignitaries, Entertainers, Politicians, Professional Athletes, and Collectors of Fine Art. Her designs can be found in 52 countries to date.

She has had the honor of creating a one of a kind Ornament for the Official White House Christmas Tree. One creation a Harpy Eagle was commissioned for Jim Fowler of Mutual of Omaha's "Wild Kingdom" and is presently displayed in the Explorer's Club in New York City.
