Beautiful Beetles by Lucy Arnold

Welcome!

Come delight in nature’s colorful creatures, lose yourself in cosmic abstracts and revel in imaginary, surreal scenes of digital art.

Nature is my primary source of inspiration, and color my main mode of expression. It is often the small, intimate details of nature that attract my eye. I depict real species in my natural history paintings, as I can’t imagine life forms more wonderful and bizarre than those actually found here on Earth.

I began experimenting with poured acrylics at the beginning of the pandemic in February 2019. This medium is different from anything I’d ever done. Countless techniques result in amazing, colorful abstract wonders without the use of a paintbrush. I do occasionally add a realistic butterfly, bird, or fish, though, after the background painting has dried. These are my hybrid paintings.

Another new medium for me is collage. I hand paint or print all the papers that go into the creation of the collages, which is endless fun!

In my abstract mixed media and abstract pastel art pieces, inspiration is internal and intuitive. I employ multi-layered colors to explore micro and macrocosms of energy, dimensions, and the cosmos.

I will be glad to answer your questions or direct you to the information you need. You can find my blog posts in News & Events, and find venues showing my art on the Exhibits page.
