    Description

    Join us Saturday morning for a virtual Artist Discussion with Sondra N. Arkin, part of The Art Clinic Online's artist discussion series. As a sculptor, printmaker, and painter, Sondra N. Arkin is known for her exploration of line, space, and boundaries. Modular installations use common materials such as wax, ink, shellac, steel, foraged natural, found, and manufactured materials. In her paintings, luminous surfaces are saturated with color and atmosphere. Prints and drawings further explore the intersection of atmospheric and linear formations. Ethereal orbs of steel wire form “drawings in space” that amplify the dialogue between the viewer and object, and installations of found objects further explore the idea of environment.

    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 from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities multiple times.

    In addition, as Curator of the DC City Hall Art Collection, she assembled for the District a remarkable collection that includes many of the finest artists who have lived in the nation’s capital. As the largest permanent collection of regional art on public display, it constitutes a unique resource. She has curated many independent projects, regularly programs alternative arts spaces, and is deeply involved in the mid-Atlantic arts community. She lives and works in Washington, DC.
