Melbourne-based artist & illustrator Paula Mills is one of the creative minds behind the label Sweet William ~ a creative collaboration between Paula and her sister Shelley, who lives in New Zealand.
Paula studied commercial art and graphics and enjoyed a career as an art director and graphic designer. "Once my babies came along and after tragically losing my mother, I found my self turning back to my love of drawing and painting and embarked on a new career as an illustrator'. Sweet William's whimsical illustrations always start with a fine line pen or pencil, to which collage, paint and texture is added. Paula often draws inspiration from the past, childhood memories, paper ephemera, old children’s books and all things vintage. Sweet william is passionate about 100% handmade and offer a unique range of art prints, paper goods and stationary.
