Testimonials

Annie Millar is a fantastic contact of mine and a huge pleasure to work with.
I was first introduced to Annie when working at World of Interiors and we collaborated together on several interior projects, in which I was delighted with the results. Annie is highly skilled and responds to a brief with precision, adapting her style to fit perfectly with what has been asked. She has been involved in the art work on several sets for the interior shoots at Wallpaper*. From the more decorative, to the highly graphic, her most recent project involved painting the sets for 10 different covers for our April 2012 issue. I would recommend Annie Millar to any future client. She is a trusted and greatly valued contact and huge fun to work with.

Annie Millar is one of the best scenic artists in the business.
It is always a pleasure to work with her as she brings great creativity and flair to every project. Annie is hard-working and her attention to detail is impressive. Her illustrations for our press previews have, on several occasions, given great cohesion to the shows, providing the 'wow' factor. Always, they are beautifully executed and exceed all expectation.

Annie Millar was contracted by the Museum of London in October 2011 to create scenic wall painting as part of the design of the ‘Dickens and London’ exhibition.
As the Project Manager of the exhibition I worked closely with Annie and I can confidently recommend her both for the quality of her work and for her ability to work within a big multi-disciplinary team.
Annie was able to understand and respond creatively to the brief provided and worked with the exhibition’s Graphic Designer to further develop the ideas for a scenic artwork that suited the exhibition’s design. She was also able to accommodate the project’s needs by carrying out the work in situ and painting directly on the constructed exhibition structures.
Annie was very pleasant and easy to work with and, during her work on site, she demonstrated great flexibility and understanding of the needs of a complex project. She was willing to work around other exhibition contractors and also to review her work and incorporate changes based on the client’s feedback. She came across as confident and experienced in her field and with good understanding of health & safety requirements when working on construction sites.
Her work was completed within the estimate and time frame agreed, while the quality of the scenic painting completely met our expectations and helped create an atmosphere that was key to the success of the exhibition.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Annie for other work.
