Catriona Millar's work takes its inspiration from the stories that lie at the heart of the human condition, and the sparkle of a narrative behind the eyes of her subjects hints at everything from longing to melancholy. Her work often juxtaposes human characters with a variety of animal confidants, with some seeming physically present in the composition while others take on a talismanic quality. In the Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 3rd May 2015 lot 2138 "The Agency" by Millar sold for £2800 (hammer).
