I'm Mills, an artist and curator based in Berwick-upon-Tweed.

Art has gradually become the centre of my life. I spend a lot of my time travelling around the country visiting exhibitions, meeting artists and discovering new work. Women Making Art is where I document that journey through writing, conversations and curatorial projects, sharing the ideas, people and exhibitions that deserve a wider audience.

I'm particularly interested in contemporary working-class women artists, especially those based in the North of England and the Scottish Borders. I'm drawn to work that asks difficult questions, challenges assumptions and offers new ways of looking at the world we live in.

I don't believe great art only happens in the places people expect to find it. Some of the most exciting work I've encountered has been made by artists working quietly in studios, artist-run spaces and regional galleries, often far from the traditional centres of the art world. I enjoy discovering artists and exhibitions that should be talked about and creating opportunities for more people to engage with their work.

I want contemporary art to feel less intimidating and more like a conversation than a test. Whether you're visiting your first exhibition or your hundredth, I hope Women Making Art encourages you to slow down, trust your own response and discover artists you might not otherwise have encountered.
