About Anne Arnold

Lived 1925 – 2014 (aged 89). Anne Arnold was an American sculptor and artist.

Anne Arnold (May 2, 1925- June 20, 2014) was an American sculptor best known for her whimsical life-size and sometimes larger than life-size sculptures of animals and people rendered in wood, ceramic, or softer materials such as canvas and Dynel, and resins.

Early life and family

Arnold was born on May 2, 1925, in Melrose, Massachusetts, where she was raised. Her father was Edmund Arnold, a civil engineer, and her mother was Fanny (née Doty) Arnold. She had two brothers, and together they grew up spending their summers on the coast of Massachusetts in Humarock. She is a direct descendant of Benedict Arnold, and can trace her ancestry back to the Mayflower. Anne married the abstract painter Ernest Briggs in 1960.

After Arnold's husband Ernie Briggs' death in 1984 she worked mostly with watercolor and pencil on sketches made outdoors in Maine.

After receiving her MA from Ohio State University in 1947 Arnold taught drawing, painting, and art history for two years at Geneseo College in New York. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY
