EARTH BY serena mitnik-miller

New York, April 2011 — EARTH BY is pleased to announce the release of a brand new original and limited edition print by top contemporary artist, Serena Mitnik-Miller. Hinging on an artistic practice that often begins with an impression of nature, Earth By Serena Mitnik-Miller continues this line of inquiry, comprising a series of layered concentric circles that mimic the flux of the earth’s surface.
Spontaneously spurred by coastal landscapes and the ever-changing sea, Serena Mitnik-Miller is an adept translator of the natural world. Through the mediums of watercolor, printmaking and photography, she explores the abundant complexities of water, light, color and movement. Ethereal and pure, Mitnik-Miller’s paintings are ingrained with the quiet mystery of the ocean’s unfathomable womb. Primarily composed of concentric shapes, swelling orbs and pulsing bubbles, her free-flowing works strike the perfect balance between geometry and fine art. She has shown at SFMOMA Artists Gallery in San Francisco; Space 15 Twenty and New Image Art Gallery in Los Angeles, among others. Mitnik Miller is co-founder and creative director of Two Birds Fly and The General Store. She lives and works in San Francisco.
