Amy Claire Mills

A graduate of the University of NSW with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours), Amy is a neurodivergent and disabled artist whose work delves into themes of advocacy, identity, and resistance. Focused on disability culture, Amy explores its social and political dimensions as both an artist and subject. Her art serves as a form of protest, blending softness, tactility, empathy, and care with elements of dissent, disruption, and provocation.

Since 2016, Amy has worked with national institutions, festivals and galleries, such as the Sydney Biennale, Art Gallery of NSW, Firstdraft, and Outer Space, to curate and produce exhibitions and events. Her focus is on creative access and increasing representation for disabled artists across the arts and cultural sector.

She is a founding member of the performance collective Show Us Your Teeth and the art collective New Moon. In 2022, Amy curated ‘Out of Order’, a major exhibition that was disability-led and brought together video, sculpture, performance, and installation artworks.

Amy has worked as an access consultant and is the Arts Development Manager at Accessible Arts. She creates from her home studio in Gadigal/Sydney, where she continues to make delicious soft sculptures.
