The story and life of Darryl Miller
In June of 2024 I was given a task to put together a few words to announce in a press release that The Ella Sharp Museum in Jackson, MI has accepted a sculpture created by Darryl Miller, a 1968 graduate of Charlotte High School. In beginning the process of putting such an article together and gathering information I reached out to Darryl Miller directly, thinking that I would receive the information straight from the sculptor himself. He spoke to me in a humble way as I carried on asking questions. I quickly found myself intrigued with the account of his journey toward becoming a sculptor. I scribbled many notes and ended the conversation saying that I would be in touch with final article for him to proof. I started writing and putting my notes together. This included me not having trust in myself to correctly spell a few names of places, people, an artist that he had mentioned. A few spell checks turned into hours of enjoyable reading and ended up sparking more questions for Darry Miller. I immediately identified that this would not be a simple story about a local museum receiving a local sculptor’s piece of art.
