Arnston’s visual understanding of our physical world is influenced greatly by her architectural background. Her still-life paintings take on the messages of landscape; they are shaped by a fluid, wind-like spontaneous style. Paint is applied in a “broad brush” approach with subtle colour blending, and is exquisitely sculpted with the palate knife. Works range from the “Fall-Line Series” of vertical format snow-and-cliff to the more current “Planter Box Series” dark florals, and the “Aqua Series “ of water views. The joy of exploring the natural world has inspired large scale pieces, although most paintings fit a residential or corporate setting.
