Sierra Miller Mitnik Swirl
S W I R L presents a series of new watercolor works on paper by San Francisco-based artist Serena Mitnik-Miller, exploring pattern, repetition, and the interaction of color and form. Inspired by nature and its rhythms, the works combine delicate tonal gradations and curving bands of color to create meditative, abstract compositions that evoke tidal flows, tree rings, and forest vines, while emphasizing the artist’s process-driven approach.
