Kayla Twomey Flamman is the owner of Miller Gallery in Charleston, SC. Her love for art started during her childhood, growing up in Greenville, SC. After completing her Bachelor's from High Point University and Master's from Webster University, she started working in contemporary fine art galleries across the South, which eventually led her to owning one herself. Kayla also paints from her home studio in Charleston, with her husband and pup, Finn. Her surroundings often inspire her artworks, ranging from skyscapes to still lifes. Her ultimate goal is to bring joy to the moments in our everyday lives through art.
In this conversation, we discuss what it takes to acquire and run a small business while staying balanced and forward-thinking. We also get into the details of pivoting careers, the behind-the-scenes of the gallery world, and all the many ways art shows up in our lives.
This May, Miller Gallery will feature Kate Blohm Photography in a group show, Al Fresco, in collaboration with Textile Designer and Painter Teresa Roche, and Fine Art Painter Rachael Reese. Available May 2nd, 2025. Shipping worldwide! Read more about our creative collaboration on Miller Gallery's blog.

Adverb (especially with reference to eating) in the open air
This spring, The Miller Gallery invites you to step into the spirit of the season with Al Fresco —a group exhibition inspired by open air, artful tablescapes, and the joy of summer soirées. Opening May 2, the show brings together new works from three multidisciplinary artists: Teresa Roche, Kate Blohm, and Rachael Nerney Reese.
Blending painting, photography, and thoughtful design, Al Fresco captures the beauty of life’s small, shared moments—meals enjoyed outdoors, light drifting across a table, the quiet poetry of objects gathered with intention. Each artist brings a distinct perspective to the theme, offering pieces that feel intimate, textural, and rooted in both place and memory.
The opening reception for Al Fresco will be on Friday, May 2nd, 4-7 pm. Please come say hello!
