about
Millie Mitchell is an emerging artist currently working across lands of the Eora Nation. She engages a methodology of ‘slow making' through drawing and printmaking to contemplate the intersection of labour and care, focusing on generational nurture and matrilineal inheritance. She investigates the influence of maternal relationships on identity and the domestic space as a site of bonding through recreations of familial objects, furniture and recipes. Recent studio experiments have expanded her studio practice to include glasswork, textiles and ceramics.
Mitchell completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) at UNSW Art & Design in 2019, where she now works as a Printmaking Technical Officer and Academic. Mitchell has been exhibiting since 2017, including solo exhibitions I am home (2024) at Brunswick St Gallery, Naarm/Melbourne and Framed (2022) at Little Yellow Studio Collective, Eora/Sydney. Select group exhibitions include Shaping Hands at Gallery Lane Cove (2025), Artist as Archivist at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf (2024), Heroine at .M Contemporary (2019) and plate tone at Collins Place Gallery (2018). She has also been a finalist in several prizes including the Lloyd Rees Emerging Artist Award (2025, 2021) and Small Works Prize (2023). Mitchell has been an artist-in-residence with Cork Printmakers, Ireland (2020), North Sydney Council (2023-2024), and Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Studios (2024-2025).
Mitchell is also a co-founder of More Than Reproduction, a Sydney-based artist-run initiative promoting women in printmaking. She has co-curated a number of group shows with the collective including the Edition series, most recently held at Our Neon Foe (2025), HARD/SOFT at Megalo Print Studio (2025), to print at sydenham international (2025), and expand, contract, expand again at PCA Gallery (2024).
