Bessie Millar studied to postgraduate level at Edinburgh College of Art and has
worked as a designer and artist throughout her career. Working predominantly in oil
paint from her studios in Hove and London she creates original paintings and commissions
alongside limited edition print collections.

Her paintings begin with drawings and memories gathered through direct
observation. A love of colour, pattern, and expressive, juicy brushstrokes lies at the
heart of her practice.

Her recent series exploring fish has become a particular obsession much to the
delight of her pet cat, Simba.

Bessie’s work is held in numerous private collections, and she has exhibited widely
in both public and commercial galleries, including the Mall Galleries, the V&A and Hastings Contemporary.
