Oswell Miller began a sign-writing business over 100 years ago and Brian Miller wrote two books to celebrate their centenary. Miller Studios 100 , a record of the companies history and Moments in Time – Ralph Miller – Artist, a book about his father Ralph’s life and artwork.

Brian’s uncle Roy Miller spent his life working at Miller Studios, mainly executing stained glass windows for churches. He produced over 330 windows which are located in about 100 churches spread around New Zealand. Brian spent about three years between 2010 and 2016, researching, locating and photographing the work. He also researched the lives of the designers who produced the artwork for Roy and the artists in early Dunedin who influenced Roy.

Capturing Light – Roy Miller – New Zealand Stained Glass Artist, is a record of Roy’s work and brings to life the people behind the windows who are normally forgotten about. These books are available from Lifelogs Ltd.
