Suzi at the Haggin

Carl Vosburgh Miller, one of Stockton’s most beloved and respected artists passed away in  2004. However, the Haggin Museum was honored and deeply grateful when his widow, Cathy Miller, donated several hundred of her husband’s watercolor paintings and prints, as well as his sketchbooks, to the museum's fine art collection.   Over the years,  the Haggin has  displayed Carl’s paintings and prints in several different exhibitions.   His works were regularly selected for the Stockton Art League Juried Exhibition at the museum.   In 1997, the museum honored him with a special exhibition as part of its former Distinguished Artist Series, created to recognize artists with a link to San Joaquin County who had achieved national recognition in the art world.   This retrospective of his work was a tribute to his artistic achievement. One of the remarkable aspects of Miller’s career was his relatively late start as an artist.   It wasn’t until he retired from the telephone company
