Jeff & Cheryll Arnold of Arnold's Art from the Heart |
| Jeff & Cheryll Arnold
are two separate artists that share the same heart. They believe that in
this world of high speed technologies, we, as humans, need a place to
retreat... a place our hearts can be happy. We do our best
to create these simple and charming places in each picture we paint. If
you smile when you look at one of our paintings - we have succeeded. We
are not the best artists, but we have fun painting and that's what it's
all about.
After Cheryll earned her BFA in fine art, we started our life together as an art teacher and a U.S. Marine. One day Cheryll was showing Jeff her class plans for a landscape painting project for her students. Jeff piped up that he had once won an awards in Elementary and High School for paintings he had done and that he had really enjoyed art class. Well, the next day, Cheryll came home to find a beautiful painting that Jeff had done! That was it! We had to team up and try to use this extraordinary double "God Given Gift" to make a new life for ourselves doing what we love! We taught each other our different techniques and soon people could hardly tell our paintings apart without looking at the signature! We began by painting on anything we could find, saw-blades, bottles, cookware, even rocks! We did a few local shows and sold out! We eventually expanded and wanted to produce art prints of our artwork that could be unique to each customer and that's where we got the idea to do personalized paintings, have art prints made, and then make each one into personalized gifts! Now, we go to arts & crafts shows all year where we get a chance to meet our customers and personalize their chosen prints. Our Prices: We have always tried to keep our prices affordable so that anyone may afford them. There was a time when we could not afford high priced gifts but we still wanted quality gifts. We hope to continue that American tradition of "Good Quality for an Affordable Price." It is an honor for us that someone would even want to hang one of our artworks up in their house! The best advertising for us is word of mouth so thank you for telling others about us! Our home is located in Mountain City, TN just north of the Great Smokey Mountains. We have both traveled and lived in different areas all over the world, yet we believe that we live in the most beautiful area imaginable. We decided that country living was the life for us. With deep mountain valleys, high mountain peaks, winding country roads, cabins, barns, and good people, we are never without inspiration. And if you don't live here or have not visited the Smokey Mountains, we would like to invite you here to experience our country lifestyle through our artwork. We believe there is a place in our hearts in which we can retreat; a place of wonder, beauty, and good feelings. This place may not appear on any particular map, but for us to create it, we need only to look within. In each artwork we do, we would like to think that we are creating a place in which your heart can be "at home." We hope you enjoy our art. P.S. We thank the Lord everyday for the talents He has bestowed upon us and the happiness in which He has blessed our hearts: Thus we are...................... "Arnold's Art from the Heart" To all the good people we may meet only once in a lifetime, to those who buy our art without ever meeting us, and to those who have become our cherished friends......Thank you. ©2000-2010 Cheryll & Jeff Arnold |
