I have been drawing, painting, and generally making things since I could first hold a crayon. I love to work in many different styles, from very realistic to completely abstract. Nature is my primary source of inspiration, and color is my principal mode of expression. Art and music have always been my creative outlets, and I still divide my time between painting and singing. I have been performing classical music and exhibiting my artwork ever since college. I grew up in California and graduated from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1976. I married a fellow UCSC graduate in 1982 and moved to the East Coast for about 10 years. Our two children were born there, but we longed for our beautiful home state and returned in 1993. I continue to exhibit paintings, jewelry, and fine crafts. More recently, I have begun doing illustrations for children's books and for licensing. </div> <div> Please visit my website:</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.lucyarnold.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.lucyarnold.com"><U><B>http://www.lucyarnold.com</B></U></A><B>   </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Achievements</B></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Verdana" ><B>Publications:</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Verdana" ><B> </B></FONT><I>Women Artists Datebook 2001</I>, CEDCO Publishing</div> <div>  <I>Lucy's Letters Illuminated Alphabet stickers</I>, Mrs. Grossman's Paper Co.</div> <div> 16 images licensed to Wholesalers USA Inc </div> <div>  Featured in HGTV's <I>Crafters Coast to Coast</I> TV series, 2004 </div> <bR> <div> <B>Art Awards</B>: <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Arial" >Over a dozen</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Featured Artist</B>: 7 <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Arial" >Exhibitions, including 3 at Artisans.</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Solo Exhibitions: </B>16</div> <bR> <div> <B>Juror</B>: 7 <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Arial" >times</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Juried Exhibitions</B>: <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Arial" >Over</FONT> 50</div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Verdana" ><B>Community Art Activities: </B></FONT>Co-chair, <I>MSA First National Exhibition</I>, 2004</div> <div> Artists' Advisory Board, Marin Society of Artists, 2001-2004</div> <div> Chairman, Show Committee, Artisans, 1997-2001</div> <div> Show Chair: 6 times</div> <div> Public School Art Docent, Novato, CA, 1994-2000</div> <bR> <div> <B>Art Affiliations</B>: <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Arial" >Artisans, California Watercolor Association, Marin Society of Artists, Society of Layerists in Multi Media, Indian Valley Artists, Marin Arts Council</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Corporate Collections: </B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Arial" >Seven pieces, Permanent Collection, National Institutes of Health, MD</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Private Collections</B>: <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Arial" >CA, NY, VT, WA, MA, MT, IN, CT, KY, GA</FONT><B> </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Education</B>: <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000066" FACE="Arial" >B.A. with Honors, University of California at Santa Cruz, CA, 1976</FONT></div> <div> Continuing art education at California College of Arts and Crafts, Palo Alto Cultural Center, State University of New York at Purchase, Westchester Art Workshop, NY</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> </td> <td valign="top" width=100 BGCOLOR="#660033" TEXT="#F7F7FF"> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
