Utica born and raised, Will left to New York City in 1984 to pursue his painting career by showing his work in various art galleries in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Will's work inspired so many others in the arts as he worked endlessly from the 80’s to 2012. With his partner Scott, he formed a corporation called Geppetto Soft Sculpture, Inc. also known as Geppetto Studios.
His co/ownership of Geppetto was so successful due to the blend of these two forms of art expression. Will's knowledge of color was a huge attribute to the company. His collection of paintings and drawings hang in his Whitesboro home to this day.
Will has a BFA in Fine Arts and studied at Maine College of Art. He traveled abroad to Spain, Morocco, France in his 20’s, and visited many Art Museums for inspiration. Will studied many religious faiths and was ordained as an interfaith minister in the mid 90’s at St. John the Divine cathedral in Manhattan. He created an interfaith temple in his long time apartment with Scott in Carrol Gardens, Brooklyn. These 22 years were his most productive.
William Arthur Mills, 1953-2021
