Sarah C. Arnold

I am a landscape painter who has been painting on location since the 1990s. I graduated with a BFA from CSULB, and I paint the regions of Southern California that were developed in the 1920s and 1930s. These neighborhoods tend to have diverse styles of homes and well-established landscaping and trees. At the same time, they are constantly changing and disappearing; often to be replaced with buildings that have no consideration for proportion and the surrounding environment. I try to capture these places with impasto oil paint to create texture and movement and show the gestures of trees and shrubbery. The light, color, foliage and patterns of buildings evoke the rapidly disappearing neighborhoods.

I have had exhibitions in Cobleskill, New York; Cal Poly San Luis Obispo; CSU Dominguez Hills; the Long Beach Museum of Art, the Downey Museum of Art, the Pasadena Historical Museum, and the Ontario Museum of Art. (From VoyageLA)
