Serena Mitnik-Miller:

Experiential qualities of life abound within the frames of the photographic image that Serena Mitnik-Miller captures through her unwavering perspective process of observant documentation. Within the image there exists an atmosphere of suspended animation and endless horizon. The observer is instantly observed by the seemingly infinite space before them. With her watercolor explorations, Mitnik-Miller playfully holds the viewers attention through diligently placed patterns of color that overlap and interconnect to form a network of time and energy adjacent to an oceanic sensibility. Where color overlaps form a dimensional depth of space unfolds to reveal a thought process that is methodical and repetitive yet feels random and organic. Mitnik-Miller was raised on Kauai, where she developed an interest in the ocean and the culture that surrounds it. She studied at the University of California at Santa Cruz and makes work in a diverse range of mediums such as, photography, watercolor, reduction woodblock, lithography, wood stamp and etching.
