Description
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Deborah Arnold has been sculpting stone in Almonte, Ontario for over three decades. “Built into its presence, each kind of stone embodies ancient narratives about its formation”, she says. “Touching these stones, working with them, grounds me and brings me closer to their narratives.”
A member of the Sculptors Society of Canada, her work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in Ottawa, Almonte, Oshawa, and Toronto, Ontario. In 2001, she completed a public art commission entitled The Power of Three, now installed in Almonte. In 2010, the National Cemetery of Canada acquired her work Inner Egg. In 2022, Canada’s Official Residences Crown Collection acquired her work Purple Fire, now installed at Rideau Hall. In 2023, her sculpture Lanark Sky was installed on the Alameda in Almonte, Ontario. She has also completed several private commissions in Canada and the United States.
