  Milli Jannides (born 1986 in Sydney) is an Australian-born New Zealand artist, living and based in London, United Kingdom.
  
  ## Education
  
  Jannides was born in Sydney, Australia, but moved to New Zealand and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting conjoint with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature in 2009 from Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland, while spending one semester in 2007 abroad on exchange at the Glasgow School of Art. In 2010 she was a guest student at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. In 2013 she received her Master of Arts in Painting from the Royal College of Art in London.
  
  ## Career
  
  In August 2013, Jannides exhibited work at the Hermes' lack of words exhibit at Artspace NZ in Auckland, together with Manon de Boer, Eleanor Cooper, William Hsu, and Rosalind Nashashibi. In her paintings she knots vision and memory together, with each work beginning with a quote or passage from literature and often connecting the physical landscape of the scene with the emotion of a character. She uses symbols like a tree, chains, an hourglass, and steps.
