  One could almost say that Milo is international. Being born into a family of diplomats, travelling  became an integral part of her life. Shortly after her birth in Copenhagen, Denmark,she found herself in London, received most of her education in the United States  and thereafter lived in England,Australia,Spain....

        Despite her passion for art, she became a full-time student in the School of Foreign Service of Georgetown University, Washingto,D.C.

        Among the multiple celebrities she has encountered in the art world, the most remarkable one for her, is Salvador Dali.

        Milo has always drawn and painted ever since she can remember. She recalls with pleasure, that even when she was quite young, she  was often  asked to carry out projects in different styles of art. Milo is self-taught, but that varied "apprenticeship" of the past revealed her talents and was in fact a trampoline for her.

        It was in 1972, when the artist settled in the Burgundy area of France to bring up her family, that she began to sculpt. Attracted by all varieties of wood, as well as stone, particularily the white marble from Carrare, she rapidly passed from bas-reliefs, to three dimensionnal sculptures.

        In complete harmony with the various materials she uses, her sculptures, be they figurative, or abstract, are most graceful and sensitive.

        Fascinated by colors and nature, the artist turned to painting with pastels. It is with this medium that Milo developed the "Finger Art" technique, which she uses today to create her oil paintings. Moreover, the use of marble powder adds a note of relief to her creations. Since she paints with her fingers, no brushes are used except for signing!

        Milo's creations are the fruit of spontaneous inspiration. Inspired by an impression or an idea, she works on her canvas or her sculpture until an intuition indicates that there's nothing to add or to retract.

        Her work invites the eye to travel between the real and the imaginary permitting an interpretation in accordance with each viewer's sensitivity and inner feelings.
