Millie Wilson (b.1948) is an artist and teacher who lives and works in Austin, Texas. Wilson's practice encompasses a variety of media and incorporates Modernist and Minimalist traditions alongside postmodern strategies that use humor, parody and recontextualized objects and imagery to question stereotypes and conventional ideas involving sexuality and gender identity. An influential, yet underrecognized, artist and pedagogue who taught generations of artists at the California Institute of the Arts (following a brief stint teaching at the University of Illinois School of Art & Design), Wilson has deftly examined feminism, queerness, and the historical erasure of such positions from institutions of art.
