David Arnold

I am a native Southern California artist who has enjoyed a lifetime of painting and drawing. My exploration through various creative avenues has led me to focus primarily on mixed-media painting and technique. My work draws upon visual impressions from the natural world as well as inspiration from my daily spiritual practice. Ranging from portraiture to collage to abstract compositions, I enjoy an active dialogue with the materials and their surface applications. Through a process that is both intuitive and methodical, the works I've created evolve in their own way from initial drawings to fully realized paintings. It is my great joy to share these works with you.
