“My poetic abstractions spring from meditations on nature and from memories that are distilled into single dramatic moments. The energetic surfaces imply an ongoing tension between freedom and containment, edging the viewer closer to that place where chaos can erupt into clarity. The deliberate juxtapositions of forms and exaggerations of color choices, provide clues to content and interpretation.” Sirarpi’s artwork is in many collections nationally and internationally. She has received awards and exhibited her work in galleries throughout Europe and the United States. She lives and works in Lexington, Massachusetts.
