Lola Sleeth Miller (1860–1951) was a distinguished American painter, sculptor, and educator known for her contributions to the arts on both coasts of the United States. Born in Memphis, Missouri, she studied under notable artists including Douglas Tilden at the Mark Hopkins Art Institute in San Francisco, James McNeill Whistler in Paris, and sculptors Frederick MacMonnies and Emil Carlson. She gained early recognition through exhibitions at the 1893 World Columbian Exposition in Chicago and the 1894 California Mid-Winter Exposition. Her reputation grew through her oil and watercolor paintings, though she is perhaps best known for her finely crafted stone sculpture. Lola served as Director of Fine Arts at the National Cathedral School for Girls in Washington, D.C. from 1901 to 1931, teaching one of President Theodore Roosevelt’s daughters and leaving a lasting mark on the institution’s artistic direction. She was a charter member of the Arts Club of Washington, a member of numerous artistic societies on both coasts, and a former president of the San Francisco Sketch Club. Her work is represented in the collections of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Constitution Hall, the Cathedral Foundation, and the Valley Forge Museum. A bust of Martha Washington by her served as the model for the one-cent stamp. Later in life, Lola moved to Laguna Beach, California, where she continued her artistic practice until her death in 1951.
