About Lyn Swett Miller

Lyn Swett Miller is a micro-climate photographer living in Hanover, New Hampshire. She has spent the past fifteen years trying to figure out what it takes for a suburban family of four to live sustainably. A founding member of the Sustainable Hanover Committee, Miller found a voice for her activism through photography. Over time, compost became her muse and metaphor. She creates intimate visual meditations on the power of regeneration, transformation and renewal.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Miller has a BA in Art History from Harvard College (1988), a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Virginia (1995), and a Masters in Teaching from The Upper Valley Educator’s Institute (2012). Miller’s first solo show, “Compost Compositions,” was in 2019. Since then, her work has been in numerous juried exhibitions throughout the United States. Her most recent solo exhibition, “Compost: Muse & Metaphor” was at WinCam at The Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, Massachusetts. In September 2023, Miller launched 13 Tons of Love, a weekly newsletter on Substack.
