Sarinda was awarded 2004 “Best of Show” at Patrick Moore Gallery and was an invited artist to the 2006 Utah Arts Festival. She is also a member of the Glass Art Society (GAS), an international organization whose purpose is to encourage excellence, to advance education, and to support the worldwide community of artists who work with glass.She is currently working with Bad Dog Rediscovers America, a children’s art institute in Salt Lake City to set up a teen apprenticeship program in kilnformed glass. In her own words “I use a phrase “ Left of Center” to describe the details in my work. This phrase is also used to describe the relationships of the visual line and emotional motivations. Much of my work is a manifestation of the emotions and events surrounding my son’s hospital stay, early in his life. We all experience a time in our life when we have been uncertain of an outcome and recall that moment when time stands still, the tipping point. I try to capture that moment and condense the elements of my work to their essence: to a sense of space that has a concentration of spirit, character and physical presents.” November 2007
