Millie Gillespie (b. 1999, London) is an abstract painter and architect whose work is inspired by the beauty of everyday life, exploring its abstraction through art. She draws on the subtle interplay of tone and texture found in the world around her, bringing these elements into her medium-to-large-scale paintings created with diverse materials.
In 2010, Millie moved to Perth, Western Australia, where she cultivated her passion for fine art before studying at the Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio in Switzerland and the University of Western Australia. She has since balanced a multifaceted career spanning architecture, high fashion styling, and visual merchandising, alongside writing for Italian and Australian architectural journals.
Millie later earned her Master’s degree in Architecture at Mendrisio and has been practicing at an award-winning studio in Locarno, Switzerland. Since returning to Perth, Millie has dedicated herself full-time to art, exploring the beauty of everyday life through abstract painting. Her work transforms ordinary moments into evocative expressions of form and texture, capturing emotion through cool tones and unique compositions.
