ARLENE AGAR

Growing up on a dairy farm, my earliest works were drawing of life around me. Later, in grade school, I won a National Scholastic Award for a cartoon. My college purchased one painting each year from a student, and they chose one of mine. These small positive things spurred me on to a life with art as a major part of my existence. For the next years I never stopped painting and studying with other artists, while pursuing a business career.

I did a series of Polo paintings and attended workshops at the Horse Park in Lexington, KY. Plus, portraits, landscapes, still life and abstracts. I have been fortunate in having sold nearly all paintings and accepting commissions. My belief is that art is a reflection of the inner being; each painting takes on a life of its own. My goal is to bring some joy and beauty into the lives of others. Now I am able to devote the majority of my time to painting.
