Inspired by her passion for life and the natural world, Marie Mills produces work which reminds the viewer of the things often taken for granted or overlooked in our busy lives. The abundance of wild flowers or the beauty that the seasons brings is beautifully captured in paint.
Marie Mills grew up in one of the gardens of England, Yorkshire. Surrounded with this beautiful landscape this is where she begins her love for nature.
Marie has since moved to Cornwall with her family. A perfect place to take her inspiration from the stunning seascapes and hedgerows. She is a prolific oil on canvas flower and landscape artist who exclusively shows her work in a small handful of galleries around the country.

Marie Mills’ interest was learnt from gardening with her mother. A knowledge of plants together with a love of painting has been her passion which leads her to produce her range of flower paintings. She Lives in Cornwall where she paints full time. Her studio overlooks Port Mellon Bay which together with the cliff top wilderness that frames the sea and landscape provides her inspiration.
Her paintings are multi-layered with deep textured elements created with a variety of tools – traditional and otherwise ‘I take great delight in starting a new painting, brushing in the skies, this is the only time I use a brush; I then use pallet knives and my fingers to create the hedgerow.
This is all done rapidly so as not to lose the spontaneity and capture the beautiful chaos that is our living landscape’. She says she watches nature’s fight for life against the wind, the rain, and the sun. Marie portrays the strength and frailty of a flower, the reassuring nature of a full bloom, the metamorphosis of a simple daisy.
For several years Marie has spent a lot of time in France, and the influence of the Alps and associated flora is apparent in her more recent paintings.
The world as you know it - all that you see, taste, feel and touch, comprises only about 5% of all of the stuff of the universe. The other 95% is what we have considered "nothing" or the "firmament" or dark matter or the heavens or mystic Other Worlds. This 95% is multi-dimensional and consists of potential realities that may be perceived.
A single thought...a mere whisper, ...... barely upon a breeze that catches a spark... all is tinder before the firestorm... and yet.
ONLY that whisper
ONLY that thought
the world is forever changed beyond the fears and dreams of cardboard men.
Freedom and change starts within:
It is encouraged by truth and courage of people who love
Built by the respect of true beings standing as one before each other.
Lets us cross every man made borders
without fear stare into eyes and hearts of all our brothers and sisters: within our words without shouting,or force to hold each to our truths; and let us without fear freely share what works...

Emotional harmony begins with what’s on your plate — and makes all the difference in how you think, feel, and move through each day. What we eat does so much more than fill our stomachs — it gently shapes the way we move through the world. Every bite sends a message to the nervous system, the part of us that helps us handle stress, rest deeply, digest our meals, and feel at home inside ourselves. When our days get busy and we lean on quick fixes like caffeine, sugar, or whatever we can grab on…See More
