One-woman show
for N.Van’s

Marilyn Arnold

By OLGA RUSKIN

The Arts in Public Places
Committee of the North
Vancouver Community Arts
Council is sponsoring North
Van artist Marilyn Arnold in
a one-woman show opening
October 8 at the North Van
City Hall and continuing to
mid-November. The public
is invited to the opening
from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
on October 8.

Arnold, who was born in
New York in 1935, came to
North Van. nine years ago.
She studied painting at the
Art Students League in New
York, though she comes by

her artistic background
naturally.
Her mother is a

professional artist and her
father a sculptor. Arnold has
been an elementary school
teacher of art and music in
North Van. but has now left
to devote herself full-time to
art.

Her show is composed of
watercolours done in what
she describes as “strict
realism” and are of flowers
and birds and loose washes
of trees and landscapes. The
colours she uses are “warm,
subtle tones tending toward
earth tones.” She finds her

Lenda
hand...
to clean

our land

subject matter along the
shore in West Van and in the
Gulf Islands.

“I love nature art most,”
she says. “There’s always a
bunch of flowers hanging

somewhere in the house.”

Arnold uses dried flowers
as subject matter for a lot of

her watercolors of flowers.

You can’t do watercolours

out-of-doors when it is
raining, so I started to use
dried flowers.”

What does devoting
herself to art give to her?

“I find it very quieting in
the hectic world we live in to
turn to art and leave the
world behind. I find that I
create an atmosphere within
myself that is totally
renewing and in which I find
a great deal of peace.”

For Arnold this show is an
important one as it is her
first one-woman = show.
However, her work already
does hang in a public place.
Last year she did a senes of
murals of marsh grasses for
the new radiology wing of
the Lions Gate Hospital.

The hours of the gallery
which is located in the foyer
of the North Van City Hall
are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
from Monday to Friday.
