Arapoff's religious works span her full painting career.
She trained as an icon painter in her father's studio outside of Boston, Massachusetts -- an influence that is visible in a series of small religious paintings that she created for use as Christmas cards.
In the 1960s, she reinterpreted traditional iconographic themes in a looser, softer, and more expressive style; and she deconstructed traditional icons in luminous Pop-Art-informed prints.
From the 1980s onward, her abstract paintings were often explicitly linked to her faith.
