Douglas Miles Biography

Douglas Miles is one of the most popular and richest Painter who was born on December 27, 1963 in Phoenix, Phoenix, United States. “Painting on the skateboards … opens up a whole new medium for me,” Miles told Shade magazine. “My skateboards are both traditional and contemporary by design. Are they fine art or pop art? Why can’t they be both?” He emphasizes Native American youth, Apache culture, and reservation lifestyles in his work. “You need to show ‘Indian people’ in the 21st century and not so much as museum pieces,” Miles says.
