Phillippa Mills studied originally at Camberwell College of Arts, and is represented by Breed London. Her painterly approach to classical illustration carries a spectacular cohort of visual cross reference and memory, influenced among other things by childhood storybooks, high fashion and rooting through hedgerows in the wilds of Dartmoor. Her idiosyncratic lines bring subjects to life, alluding to the curious narratives they suggest. In her work she seeks to capture the pertinent emotion of her whimsical subjects who often display an air of pathos and unsettling beauty.
