Stormie Mills began drawing as a child as a way to express his thoughts, forming a particularly intimate style, which can be seen in the portraits and his depictions of people, which characterise many of his works today.

Commencing with writing graffiti in the streets around the world, he worked on raw surfaces, creating images with an inherently rich texture to all of his pieces. When he transferred to canvas and other surfaces, he continued to create texture by layering the paint, crafting another dimension to his paintings.

His contemplative works are solitary portrayals of isolation and the human condition, celebrations of beauty masked by the layers of life. A subtext to these works is backgrounds contesting the build up of dirt and the futility of its subsequent removal, contested on the concrete streetscapes.
