Mil Newton is an interdisciplinary artist working in Berkeley, CA.

Mil graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with bachelors in both Art Practice and History of Art. Previous to completing their undergrad degrees, they worked as an Art Director at an educational nonprofit, helping K-12 students develop a visual vocabulary that propels their personal, professional and educational growth.

Mil’s own practice works as a contemplative dive into the often unfamiliar, uncanny, and unpredictable experience of family. They utilize the “family archive” - photos, recipes, diaries, doodles, receipts, checks, music lists, letters, quilts, baby clothes, fridge magnets, whatever is deemed collectable - to trace their own understanding of gender, sexuality, queerness, race, class, and ability. Their paintings, drawings, and prints express an eerie and sometimes cheeky understanding of what we see when we read between the lines of the relationship between the past, the present, our relationships, and ourselves. They strive to create a single space that is a bit of then and now and us and them.
