Avatar Meher Baba - Giclée Prints by Charles Mills

An exciting new chapter has begun at Mills Studio. Since 1979, Charlie Mills has painted over 250 paintings of Avatar Meher Baba and His mandali. This, to date, is one of the largest bodies of work dedicated to Meher Baba. A large number of Charlie's original paintings are in private collections and have not been widely viewed. Mills Studio now makes many of these works available as Giclée prints.

Currently in our online Giclée Gallery, there are 36 of the 50 available images. You may purchase a print from this selection or view the full collection available at Mills Studio when visiting Myrtle Beach.
