Louisa M. Mills was listed as a member of the B.C. Society of Fine Arts in 1909.

She exhibited artwork with the Island Arts and Crafts Society from 1910 to 1922. Information in the 1921 catalogue noted that she was an Instructor in Art. The B.C. Women Artists catalogue noted that she was the Supervisor of Drawing for public schools (per Victoria Times, July 16 1926).

B.C. Vital Statistics on-line database provides the information that Louisa Mary Mills died in Saanich July 15 1926 at the age of 70. It is probable that this is the artist.
