Serena Mitnik Miller In Between
INBETWEEN presents a series of watercolor paintings by San Francisco–based artist Serena Mitnik-Miller, exploring repetition, pattern, and balance through a refined yet intuitive approach. Working without tape or stencils, Mitnik-Miller manipulates the fluidity of watercolor into precise geometric and linear compositions, emphasizing both form and negative space. The works reflect a calm, meditative process and a deep connection to the natural environment, where discipline and freeform expression coexist.
