“New Small Works” by Joanne Thorne Arnold is a series of paintings that were produced this July in Sodus, NY. Joanne was awarded a month long residency at the Sodus Art Bank. Working alongside a weaver and two sculptors her influences captured a variety of colors and techniques that have a quality of textile and atmosphere.

During Joanne’s residency, she focused on a variety of ways to use the exploration of shape and line by using an under painting of earth tones. The result is a sensation of earth accompanied with streams, pools, estuaries, rivers and seas. Joanne Thorne Arnold has been painting in the style of abstract color field for the past three years.
Her earlier landscape paintings can be seen in the local collections at the Broome County Library and Broome Community College.

In March 2008, Joanne’s work will debut in a solo exhibition at the John Dunnan Gallery in Charleston, South Carolina. Her work is also seen at the Mary Martin Gallery in Charleston, the HWGallery in Naples, Florida and the Kenneth Raymond Gallery in Boca Raton, Florida.
