Dan Mills

Mills’ work has a surprising freshness and dynamism for the amount of data it holds. He says it took him three years to figure out how to translate the energy and spontaneity from his sketchbooks and notebooks into larger artworks. In mastering that transformation, Mills has achieved an art form that is perfectly suited to our time.
