Mildred McMillen (1884–1940) was an American printmaker.
McMillen was a native of Chicago who studied at the School of the Art Institute in that city[1] from 1906 until 1913.There, she and her long-time companion Ada Gilmore first met.[2] She and Gilmore spent time in France, studying with Ethel Mars and later at the Académie Colarossi, before the outbreak of World War I drove them back to the United States.[3] Another teacher was Charles Hawthorne.[4]
In 1914 McMillen and Gilmore settled in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where they became founding members of the Provincetown Printers.[1] Notably, her prints are large in scale and black and white, unusual for members of the group.[5] Several works by McMillen are owned by the Smithsonian American Art Museum,[6] and she is represented as well in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada.[7]
