June Miles was born in London and studied at the Slade under Randolphe Schwabe. She taught at Bristol Polytechnic Faculty of Art and Design for ten years and now lives in St Just-in-Penwith, Cornwall with her husband, the sculptor and painter, Paul Mount. Her exhibitions both solo and mixed, too numerous to list, have ranged throughout the UK, France and Germany and her work is represented in a number of permanent collections throughout the UK and abroad.

June is a member of the Royal West of England Academy, Penwith Society of Arts and the Newlyn Society of Artists.

“Painting, it seems to me, is about problem solving; problems that can only be solved by myself. When I am painting a still life my original inspiration is usually a plant or flowers. Looking for a context I often use one of my Indian patchworks, as the colours can be useful, in relation to the plant. When I am painting, time really does cease to exist as I get totally involved with my self-imposed problems. Peter Davies in his book ‘St Ives Revisited’ remarks about my work that I ‘draw with paint and construct with colour:’ construction is certainly important to me, using the spaces between objects as part of the overall design and, in the case of landscapes, to describe how houses relate to each other and where they are in their spatial context.”
