A BOUNTIFUL HOME
In A Bountiful Home, Troy Hul Arnold invites viewers into the intimate interior of his childhood home—a space layered with symbolism and memory. This painting serves as both a personal archive and cultural reflection, centered around the formative influence of his mother and the values she imparted throughout his upbringing.

On closer inspection, the composition reveals a rich tapestry of domestic signifiers: abundant, healthy food; framed family portraits in the background; and a rendered Bible positioned beneath a stylized, glass-top table evocative of 1980s Caribbean-American décor. Each element functions as a visual cue, highlighting the moral and spiritual foundations instilled in Arnold from an early age. The painting becomes a tender homage not only to maternal care, but to the cultural traditions and ethical teachings that continue to inform the artist’s life and practice.
