Kathy Sirico

Kathy Sirico (b. 1990, Philadelphia) holds an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and a Bachelor of Science from Skidmore College. She has completed Artist Residencies at Mass MoCA, Assets for Artists in 2020, Vermont Studio Center in 2018, the Lucid Art Foundation in 2017, Recology San Francisco in 2016. She will attend the Arctic Circle Residency in 2023. Sirico was a 2022 finalist for the Frankenthaler Climate Art Award for her project, “Floating Chronologies,” body of work in conversation with climate change that reimagines our relationship with trees. Her work has been exhibited throughout the United States and internationally. 

Through a maximalist approach and experimental collage-based practices, Sirico unites materials, strategies, and histories of fine arts, craft, and architecture to create large-scale wall-based sculptural installations and freestanding objects with new, found, and recycled materials. Sirico aims to innovate the field of contemporary abstraction by reimagining aesthetic power as empathetic, feminist, and ecologically conscious.
