I chose this view because I wanted to show the old brick on Market Street leading to the Jackson Building. On the left is Pisgah and The Rat. Tutored by artist Lewis Hart, she moved to New York City where she studied portraiture, figure drawing and art history under Penrhyn Stanlaws. Her art education continued under Joseph Kimmell with the study of human anatomy and later, with Robert Beverly Hale, then Curator of American Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and author of Drawing Lessons from the Great Masters. Two of her Thomas Wolfe oils can be seen at the Wolf Memorial Home in Asheville and at the Wilson Library at Chapel Hill.
Additional work are in the private collections.
Exhibits include the Carnegie Hall Art Gallery, the York Club of New York, the Newspaper Women's Club of Washington, the Mint Museum in Charlotte, and the Asheville Art Museum. Many of her earlier paintings are signed B. A. Mills.
