Mirada Fine Art was proud to bring two of contemporary art's most successful (and whimsical) sculptors on the national scene to the Denver area.  Jill Shwaiko from Santa Fe, NM and internationally-acclaimed artist Mark Yale Harris of Carbondale, CO join forces to create an exhibition that will inevitably bring a smile to your face.  Although they create their remarkable sculptures using completely different techniques (Jill builds her initial sculpture through wax and Mark chips away on precious stone), they both end up with spectacular limited edition bronze sculptures that are sure to evoke an emotional response.
