Serena Mitnik-Miller, J O U R N E Y May 13 – June 20, 2021; Opening: May 13, 2-4pm

Sarah Shepard Gallery is delighted to welcome California-based artist Serena Mitnik-Miller for her third solo exhibition.

Mitnik-Miller is known for her minimalist geometric compositions of interlocking patterns, lines, and organic, concentric shapes. She deftly uses subtle gradations of nature-inspired color — earth tones, grays, elemental blues, and greens — to suggest a kind of rhythmic liminal space, movement, and ongoing transition. Paradoxically, the compositions offer a sense of stillness as well.

Born in Massachusetts, Mitnik-Miller moved with her family to Hawaii as a child. She earned a BA in Photography and Printmaking from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Her work was exhibited at the Bolinas Museum in West Marin in 2019. A designer as well as a painter, Mitnik-Miller is the co-founder of General Store in San Francisco and Venice, CA, and the co-author of Abode: Thoughtful Living with Less. She was an artist-in-residence at Art Park in Byron Bay, Australia and her work has been extensively exhibited in New York,
Tokyo and Australia. Mitnik-Miller is included in the Art In the Embassies collection in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
