He attended Wesley College and Guildford Grammar School in Perth along with his brothers Barnaby and Oliver. In 1984 Mills discovered spray-paint and painting in the streets, and at nearly 17 years of age his parents sent him to stay with his grandmother back in Wales for a month until his parents paid for his chosen holiday in New York and brother met him in New York in 1986.〔 During that time he travelled to London and New York. Mills returned to Perth just before his 21st birthday.〔 In 1997 he held his first solo exhibition in Perth. In 2002 he achieved a Commendation Award in the "City of Perth Invitational Art Award". He has been commissioned to create works in Los Angeles and London and in 2002 was invited to create large scale murals across Greece in preparation for the Olympics〔 achieving international acclaim for his work.〔〔 In 2003 he was invited to produce a limited edition toy, Toy2R, which was retailed in Tokyo and New York.〔 He was also invited to produce work for a group show at the Adicolor Studios in Berlin and has been invited to participate in group shows in Tokyo and Taiwan in October 2006. In May 2005 was invited to participate in a show in London to launch the Thames and Hudson publication, ''Graffiti World'', where he was invited as a guest speaker at the London Institute of Contemporary Arts.〔 In 2009, Mills was among six urban artists (together with Timid, Remi/Rough, System, Juice 126 and Derm) who travelled to the west coast of Scotland to transform an abandoned village,〔 Polphail near Portavadie. Over four days the artists decorated the grey walls of the village. A short film, ''Ghost Village'', was made documenting the project and was screened at the London Film Festival.〔〔 In the same year his work was exhibited at the annual Art Basel exhibition in Miami Beach, Florida, where he has been invited back twice. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stormie Mills」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
