Art and craftsmanship at the centre of all our projects, we can help to create timeless collections that speak of our clients own unique personalities and interests.
Milieu was set up in 2023 by artist Caroline Robinson. Caroline is a painter and artist in her own right and a resident in St Ives, Cornwall for nearly twenty years. With extensive hospitality experience after previously founding a highly successful Michelin star awarded smallholding and restaurant with her husband and young family. In 2023 Caroline decided to focus on her artistic connections and insatiable ardor of art and design. Launching Milieu Studios in order to create a space for showcasing a variety of different practises and artistic approaches. Not just to visit here in Cornwall, but also to provide a platform for conversation surrounding art, bringing the voices and unique stories behind each piece and practise to the fore front.
Milieu has gained much momentum since opening and now sells work Internationally, representing some of the UK’s most well regarded contemporary artists.
Caroline practises her own painting career, alongside mentoring other artists, you can find her work with limited availability through some well respected galleries within the UK and through Milieu directly.

IN FOCUS
Ruby Bateman
Ruby Bateman is a visual artist working from her home studio in the South West Countryside. Ruby’s practice is deeply heartfelt; creating from a place of sincerity and only selecting materials that are natural and non-toxic for her paintings and drawings. With a richly colourful and symbolic visual language, her work tells a multitude of stories; her personal encounters with love and loss, the stories that live in the body, the medicine of plants and nature, and the stories she’s loved reading from folklore, fiction and mythology.
Interweaving all this is her passion and curiosity in Jungian and psychotherapy philosophies, ancestral teachings, maternal politics, the esoteric and the expansive work of William Blake.
For Ruby, the experience of making is an alchemical act. It is an essential relationship with the self and connection to a deeper material consciousness
Read our interview with Ruby to learn more about her fascinating practise.
