Serena Mitnik-Miller and Stephen Ormandy Intertwined
Intertwined, is a two-person exhibition featuring the works of California based artist, Serena Mitnik-Miller and Sydney, Australia based artist, Stephen Ormandy. Intertwined juxtaposes Mitnik-Miller’s serene geometric watercolors alongside Ormandy’s hard-edge oil on linen canvases and marble sculptures. Using altogether different mediums, both artists explore the effects of layering, motion, and infinity through undulating forms and lines. This fascination with undulation can perhaps be traced to their shared affinity for the ocean.
Serena Mitnik-Miller lives and works in Malibu, CA. She was born in 1981 in Massachusetts but spent most of her childhood in Hawaii. Mitnik-Miller received her BA in photography and printmaking from the University of California in 2008.
