Working on rock faces or unstretched canvas, she pays homage to the landscape around her by using materials gathered from it. Much of the artist's focus is on color, and the variety of her natural palette is remarkable: reds, oranges, blacks, even blues and greens make up her unorthodox paint box. This exhibit will focus on Ms. Arnold's work in the American Southwest, and includes paintings from the Burr Trail in Utah, Luna Mesa near Capitol Reef National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, and Bisbee, Arizona.
