With his brightly colored designs — everything from ears of corn to New York City skyscrapers — painter Myles Maillie has made a name for himself in Nashville's art scene. There's a good chance you've seen someone wearing one of his hand-painted shirts or aprons. The bold, pop-art style is hard to miss, as is Myles himself, whose flair for color extends to his wardrobe.
For decades, Myles kept at it, using inexpensive materials to create bold, joyful pieces — some wearable, some not. Though he's been compared to fellow Nashvillian (and fellow Hillsboro High alum) Red Grooms, Myles has an irrepressible style all his own, one that has lasted through many stages of his life, and of this city's.
