"Arne Kvaalen’s choice of landscapes was formed by his youth in Montana, the Big Sky state. As a professor, Arne taught at Purdue for 29 years. He continues to live in Lafayette, where he maintains a studio. “Landscape always has been my primary concern. In my early years it was the Western land from which I came. But in the last decades I have discovered the land along the Wabash. It is lush and verdant in contrast to the West, a gift of God to feed the world and inspire artists.” – Arne Kvaalen"
