Jupiter Ranch Art Studio

Sylvie Milman
2220 Shaw Road
Friday 1300-1600 Sunday 1300-1600 or when sandwich sign is out!

I really enjoy the small miracle of transformation that is made possible by the use of different media. By allowing my work to shape itself—-that is by layering, sanding, texturing, fusing and scraping--I wait for that moment when something of great value reveals itself. This is art for art’s sake. There is more at work than the paint brush, the canvas and myself, and I love the mystery of it all.
