JASON MILLER

STONE’S THROW

MARCH 6-19, 2026

Stone’s Throw is the debut solo exhibition of Thunder Bay based artist Jason Miller.

This exhibition celebrates the natural beauty of the Thunder Bay District, offering a visual tribute to the region’s distinctive landscapes, and the animals that call them home. Drawing inspiration from locations such as Quetico Provincial Park, Aguasabon Gorge, and the many places in between; Stone’s Throw reflects on the quiet grandeur found within close reach of home.

Through these oil paintings, Miller invites viewers to reconnect with familiar landscapes while encouraging curiosity and exploration of the natural world. The works are rooted in a sense of place, highlighting the privilege of living amid such expansive and largely untouched wilderness. As the artist notes, “I hope that through my paintings, I can evoke memories of familiar places and encourage the exploration of new ones.”

His work often begins with photography, taken while hiking and exploring Northwestern Ontario. He then translates these photos into paintings, seeking to capture not only the visual qualities of a place, but its emotional resonance. Stone’s Throw marks Miller’s first solo exhibition and reflects his ongoing exploration of landscape, memory, and place.

Jason Miller is a self-taught artist born and raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario. His early creative practice was shaped by a lifelong connection to nature, which has remained a central influence throughout his work. After spending several years in Southern Ontario, Miller returned to Thunder Bay in 2020, where a renewed appreciation for the region’s isolation and surrounding wilderness reignited his artistic practice. Keeping a low profile, he has only exhibited two works publicly - both through the Thunder Bay Art Gallery's 2023 regional juried exhibition “NWO NOW”. He was also featured in the August 2022 edition of the Walleye, with an article highlighting his return to the local art scene through his photographic and artistic practices and was awarded City of Thunder Bay "Emerging Youth Artist" in 2012.
