Breahna Arnold

Sag Harbor artist, Breahna Arnold has been taking the Hamptons by storm. She combines style and functionality in most everything she crafts.  Her passions range from sketching, painting, mixed media collage, hand painting tee shirts, but what she most excels at is her jewelry that is 100 percent original and hand crafted.

Hampton Photo, Arts and FramingBreahna caught the art bug at an early age when, bored with ordinary playthings she made her own toys out of what ever she could get her hands on. She later attended Fashion  Institute of Technology where she studied fashion design. She has certificates in Jewelry Making and Wax Modeling from Studio Jewelers Ltd  where she honed her metal cutting and 3D formation chops. In 2005, as a newly single mother, the then 22 year old moved from the Manhattan back home to her mother’s. Her mother reminded by her daughter’s diligence and creativity suggested to her to start making jewelry. 5 years later Ms.Arnold’s talent has taken blossomed and continues to flourish nearly every day . Her influences stem mostly from daily life and enjoys making things traditionally with her own two hands. Causing everything she makes to resonate with eccentricity.

Breahna’s  jewelry is made from an assortments of metals. Her self appointed nickname is pennies. One of her most talked about necklaces was made of pennies with abraham cut. She even made jewelry from silver plated pots and pans. Every piece has a primitive organic feel

Ms.Arnold has sold her jewelry in several  boutiques and galleries through out the Hamptons.   She has also been invited to participate in fairs and art shows. A multitude of happy clientele...echo a ringing endorsement for Breahna's body of work not confined to any medium, yet she executes her craft with surgical precision and steadfast attention to detail.

Taking time from her jewelry, Breahna also creates large mixed media collages made from recycled materials. She also loves drawing both from imagination and life. She often attends life drawings classes and will often ask a friend to sit for her.
 
Last year Ms.Arnold discovered another skill, stencil making. She draws images on cardboard cuts them out with a small blade and paints them directly on fabric. These garment obtain a professional aesthetic while still feeling handmade and one  off.

You can find her more avant garde work at Gallery Merz located on Sag Harbor main street. She has beautiful beaded work at Collette store also located on Sag Harbor main street.

Art of Photography

Art of PhotographyPhotography is an amazing art form. A photograph album is a catalogue of life's history as seen through the camera. People, animals, nature, holidays, celebrations and even disasters are captured instantly and recorded as part of history. It is through the powerful presentations of photography that we better understand the progression of time and life. Hampton Photo Arts has over twenty years of experience working with photographers as they seek to capture and preserve the history of families and communities.

When families get together, both children and adults love to look through photograph albums. They enjoy seeing the childhood photos of older family members and compare themselves to ancestors who lived a hundred or more years ago. Photos are among the most important treasures of every family. They should not be faded and dull. They contain the smiles, tears and emotions of generations. The staff members at Hampton Photo Arts display excellence in the art of photography reproduction. They work with the highest quality materials. They know how to create family memories that will be just as beautiful one hundred years from now as they are today.

 
Learning to Paint Watercolors

Watercolor is an easy, fun medium for creating art.  Color theory, composition and design can be explored freely with watercolor paint, paper, and brushes.  Several techniques may be used with watercolors for varying effects including painting wet on wet, wet on dry, layering washes, and more.

Watercolor paper comes in cold press, hot press, and rough.  Rough paper has the most texture, and its hills and valleys can result in interesting effects when paint is added.  Hot press is the smoothest and has the finest texture.  Cold press has a moderate amount of texture and is the paper most commonly chosen by watercolor artists.

Watercolor paper comes in several weights ranging from 90 lb. to 300 lb. based on the pounds per ream of paper.  Most artists prefer to use at least 140 lb. paper.  Papers vary somewhat between manufacturers, so sampling different papers is advisable.  Paper can be purchased in pads, in blocks or in large sheets.  The large sheets are usually the most economical and can be torn into whatever size is desired.
