Arnold's paintings are narratives that tell stories of a coastal environment
with
subtlety and understanding that only comes from a lifetime by the sea. Childhood
memories of idyllic summers on Block Island, RI, provided a treasure trove of
images for his artistic seascapes. He later lived for many years on Cape Cod.
Arnold graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design and then attended
Bryant College, earning a degree in Business Administration. His
subsequent work in jewelry design enabled him to incorporate his experiences
with color and light in his compelling compositions, which evoke emotions of
comfortable familiarity and serenity.
