Kathy Sirico

In residence: July - August 2026

Kathy Sirico is a Brooklyn-based artist and poet whose practice spans collage-based painting, stained-glass sculpture and mixed-media installation. Her work explores relationships between humans and the more-than-human world, bringing together personal experience with scientific, mythological and poetic perspectives to reflect on ecological change. Sirico holds an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and has undertaken residencies including Artica Svalbard, The Arctic Circle and Santa Fe Art Institute.

During her residency Sirico will continue her artistic and literary research on climate change in the Arctic. Through poetry, prose and works on paper, she will explore the lives of Svalbard’s reindeer and the ecosystems they depend on, reflecting on the emotional and ecological connections between landscape, wildlife and the communities who study and care for them.
