Artist Bio
Arlene was born and raised in New York City. She has traveled widely through the United States, Europe and Asia and has a love and appreciation of beaches, woods and cities as well as dancers in motion. Her many works in oil and watercolor reflect these interests. She uses a combination of bold colors and lively brushwork to highlight the natural beauty and intensity of her subject matter. Her work is represented in private and corporate collections and she has participated in numerous exhibitions, including juried shows. She has been Co-President of United South End Artists in Boston. Whether it is an old growth forest, a city scene in spring or a deserted beach at dusk, Arlene’s intention is to draw the viewer into the moment by capturing a mood through her dramatic technique.
Materials and Techniques: I paint with oil sticks, water soluble oils and watercolors – on canvas, water color paper and panel board. Palette Knife and Brush are used in broad strokes to push color and capture the liveliness and beauty of the subject to enhance the viewers perception of nature and the environment.
