Jim Mills
1934 - 2025

Sometimes in life, an unexpected opportunity shows up, often when we need it most.

Jim came to painting late in life, carrying preconceived ideas, many of which he picked up from his father Cyril, an academic painter, and from general cultural beliefs and notions about what makes an artist.

This is what makes his story remarkable. Despite the obstacles, Jim took the leap. He stopped only admiring art from the sidelines and began creating art himself.

His newfound freedom to create infused him with new energy and brought to life unexpected treasures.
