Marlene E. Miller, born in 1934, has been a maker of puppets, and a producer of prints, drawings, paintings, and sculpture. A master printmaker, she is equally adept with ink, pencil, charcoal, and most other two-dimensional techniques. In her art she confronts powerful issues such as the Holocaust, feminism, and homelessness. She focuses on all those who suffer, including the elderly, and victims of AIDS, war, and racism. Her art reflects her desire to elicit a reaction from the viewer, whether positive or negative. Miller states, "I'm always observing the world around me and painting the image of the underdog. I'm compelled to put before people things that attack their feelings and consciousness about social issues."

Miller is part of the Bucks County Senior Artist's Initiative. Her work can be found in the permanent collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Michener Art Museum. Some of her sculpture was selected for an exhibition on the Holocaust travelling around the United States from 1998 through 2002 called Witness & Legacy: Contemporary Art about the Holocaust. In 2012, she had a solo exhibition at the Michener Art Museum, called I Look, I Listen: Works on Paper by Marlene Miller, a set of highly skilled drawings of society's disenfranchised. Her most recent exhibition was 16th Annual Postcards From The Edge at Luhring Augustine Gallery in New York City in 2014.

Reflecting on her life as an artist, Miller says simply, “I look, I listen.”
