Artist Statement:
I'm a representational
artist. I do not remember a
time in my life when I was not
able to express what I saw
before me in crayon, pencil or
paint. As a child I drew
constantly, recording the
scenes in my Bronx
neighborhood.
I put my interest in art aside
until a few years ago. I was
busy attending to life's other
demands.
Now I look forward to each
morning knowing that I will
spend each day painting or
drawing. I have an endless
amount of ideas for drawings
and paintings and I find each
day exciting.
I love that my work is
exhibited frequently in
galleries here in New York
,that I have developed a
following and I am accepted as
a professional artist by the
art community.
I hope you visit my website
arlenehorton.com to see more
of my work,to read more about
me and see the events where my
work has been shown and the
awards that I have won....
