Anne McMillan

Anne McMillan is a book, mixed-media, and fiber artist. She collects found objects and uses them in her work, incorporating them into books.  

Her art is an eclectic mix of her life, reflecting where she has been and where she wants to go. It incorporates natural materials with traditional structures, a fusion of elements that creates a tactile and immersive experience, inviting you to explore the layers or pages of the work.  

Mostly self-taught, Anne enjoys the challenge of unraveling how a book structure was made and in the education of the arts.  She has developed her art through in-person and online workshops which she continues to do.  She enjoys learning as much as she can about bookbinding and sharing it with others. She has exhibited her work throughout New England and has taught classes in Bookbinding and Book Arts for the past 8 years.  She is also an active member of the Guild of Bookworkers, Surface Design Association, NEBA-New England Book Artist, and the Vermont, Santa Fe, San Diego, and Canadian Book Arts Guilds.  

She was raised in Connecticut and has lived in Texas and New Hampshire where she now resides.  She always had a love for handmade books. You can always find her traveling and finding old bookshops wherever she is looking for that old book with a great cover.
