October 2016 (Austin, TX) – Celebrate a new blend of art and wine at Art for the People. How does it get any better than a professional artist and an expert sommelier to guide you through the journey of The Soil of the Soul….the best 2-for-1 EVER!!!!
Mila Sketch was born in Murmansk, Russia and now lives and creates in Austin, Texas. Mila has exhibited her art throughout the world from Russia, Great Britain, Israel, California, and Austin, Texas where she calls home.
The Soil of the Soul exhibition is a line of artworks dedicated and inspired by wine and the wine community. Wine has a long history linked to culture, art, religion, territory, and people; it expresses so much more than just a Terroir. People enjoy when a wine tells a story. The desire to improve one’s knowledge can be a solo journey or enhanced with the tutelage of a sommelier.
In creating The Soil of the Soul, Mila worked intimately with the sommelier, Julia Dixon, of Somm Wings. Julia guided Mila in understanding the nuances of wine and Mila became a passionate wine lover. Julia’s love for wine inspired Mila’s The Soil of the Soul. The name of the exhibition originates from the idea that the character of a wine is defined by the types of soil and how the soul is defined by the soil where we live and love. We all come from somewhere and everywhere.
