About the Artist 

Deanna Sirlin is known for an approach to painting that combines color and abstraction, technology, digital information and translation. Born in Brooklyn, NY, Sirlin moved to Atlanta after visiting the city during her solo exhibition at Berry College in 1987. Her recent solo exhibitions include Strata at the Center of Art and Culture in Évora, Portugal; Watermark, at the Crosland Tower Library at Georgia Tech; and Wavelength at Chastain Gallery in Atlanta. Her installation “Borders of Light and Water” was in the exhibition Reflections which was part of the 59th Venice Biennale in Italy in 2022. Sirlin is the Editor-in-Chief of The Art Section and often reviews art for Arts ATL. Her book, She’s Got What It takes: American Women Artists in Dialogue was published by Charta Art Books. 

Deanna was selected as a Midtown Heart of the Arts artist in residence via a competitive application process. Her studio is sponsored by Emory University. Special thanks to Emory for making this program possible and to St. Luke's Episcopal Church for additional support.
