My mother, June Miles, who has died aged 96, was known as a landscape, portrait and still life artist. In a review in the Cornishman in 2004, Frank Ruhrmund wrote of her that “… there is a sense of peace in her work that passes all understanding … An artist who has never courted publicity, never owned a trumpet of her own let alone blown it, June Miles must be one of the most retiring, unassuming, and consequently one of the most underrated of the many artists practising in Penwith.”
