Artist Statement

Washington D.C. artist Sondra N. Arkin’s work explores space, connections, and boundaries in both paintings and sculpture. In paintings, prints, and drawings, the luminous surfaces, imbued with atmosphere, explore the same points of connection of her ethereal orbs of steel that are organized in site-specific installations. While not overtly representational, the work explores thematic content related to human-nature interactions. Arkin has participated in many exhibitions in both galleries and museums, and her work has been represented in a number of private, corporate, and public collections including the U.S. State Department’s Art in Embassies Program, the DC Art Bank, and public art in Crystal City, Virginia. She has been awarded an Individual Artist Fellowship grant multiple years from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
