Becky Arnott, Artist

As I mentioned earlier in my blog (Please see Profile and "First Blog Post," March 5, 2011, etc.) I enjoy doing several different types of art.

I sell prints of some of my paintings which were done using either pastel, acrylic, or mixed media.  Many of my subjects are Appalachian Mountain in theme.

Also, I do commissioned portraits of people and pets from photographs in either pastel or pencil.  Each portrait comes complete with a 16" x 20" mat.

In addition, I make jewelry, magnets, and paper weights, etc. out of genuine Appalachian Mountain coal.  My coal items are either plain, painted, or decoupaged with my own original designs.  I can also customize
the magnets and paper weights with any picture and/or lettering.

I first became interested in working with coal because it is an important part of the area where I grew up in Big Stone Gap, Virginia.  Also, coal is featured in "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" outdoor drama in Big Stone Gap with which my family and I were involved for several years.

I have my art work for sale in their drama gift shop and in the adjacent June Tolliver House gift shop, as well as in other local shops.
