"Arnold’s urbanscapes have defined her as a nationally recognized artist. These vibrant, dynamic paintings demonstrate how even the most mundane scenes from everyday life – street signs, traffic lights, or roadway markers – can be simplified and reimagined through contemporary abstraction to communicate a shared, intuitive experience between the viewer and artist. Thus, within a body of work that extends over a decade, Arnold’s paintings reveal not only a mastery of formal abstraction, but the development of a uniquely individual style of painting."
