Much of this we hide throughout our daily lives behind a calm, put together facade. We all hold secrets, scars, experience, and history. My art’s intent is to illustrate the inner workings of one’s emotional person. Arndt’s paintings are tied to her original love of psychology in that they aim to be not only beautiful, but also to speak to the damage and history that we all hold behind the facade that we present to the world. The results are somewhat unpredictable and leave a cracked surface that illuminates a “behind the scenes” view. The final step of this process is to pull away paint to reveal parts of the underpaintings. Arndt builds depth and dimension in her abstract paintings by layering paint with other material, such as sand, glass and textured mediums. Her paintings are typically vibrant, multilayered and textured. Throughout a ten-year process of learning, researching and experimenting, Arndt developed an unconventional technique to her abstract work. She has shown her work in the United States as well as Canada. In 2015, shortly after giving birth to her daughter, Arndt started to show her work professionally. In 2009, Arndt began her journey into the art world working with international artists and mentor, Mark DiVincenzo. This interest and love of the human experience has parlayed into her artwork as you see it today. In 1998, Arndt obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. With the ever-changing landscape of location, personalities and cultures, she became interested in the psychology of the human experience. Born in Erie Pennsylvania as an Army Brat, Arndt quickly learned to adapt to many moves from country to country and city to city. Sherry Arndt proudly resides in Buffalo New York with her, daughter Rhea and their beloved family pet, Meatball.
