June Miles studied at The Slade from 1941 to 1943 (and drew maps during the war in an Admiralty drawing office) under Randolphe Schwabe followed by two more years at Art School in Bristol at the then West of England College of Art.

After the war she met and married the painter Paul Feiler (who became a leading figure in the post war St Ives School of abstract painters) and lived in Bristol, where her three children were born. She began teaching at the West of England College in 1966, where she taught evening class at the Queens Road site in the Illustration Department. She remained as a member of the Faculty staff until 1976. In 1968 she was a medallist in the Women’s International Exhibition in Paris. She is a member of the Royal West of England Academy, the Newlyn Society of Artists and the Penwith Society of Artists.

June Miles has participated in several group and solo shows which include venues such as the Royal Academy, the London Group, the Medici Gallery and the David Messum Galleries in London, Beaux Arts and the Adam Gallery in Bath as well as numerous galleries in Cornwall where she now lives. Her work is included in several permanent collections including Plymouth City Art Gallery, the Royal West of England Academy and the Bristol City Art Gallery.

She settled in St.Just with her second husband, the sculptor Paul Mount (who recently died) and is best known for her still lives and landscape paintings of West Penwith.

Very much a part of the St Just artistic community, June Miles staged a solo show at The Great Atlantic Map Works Gallery in 1998 alongside the distinctive ceramics and jewellery produced by her daughters Christine and Helen Feiler respectively.
