Constantly pushing beyond realistic colors and textures of the "ordinary" scenes around her, Holly draws attention to her surroundings and encourages the enjoyment of nature's beauty. Utilizing layers of acrylics and random textures, she creates surprise passages that draw viewers in, revealing unexpected shapes and subjects hidden in plain sight. Her favorite element, color, results in joyful, uplifting pieces of art, with prints that stay true to the original painting.
The decision to start working full-time as an artist began for Holly after years in non-art-related businesses. She studied under master painters and formal academics, defining her work with terms like representationalist, impressionist, colorist, and expressionist. Holly continues to grow and explore new approaches to communicating her message, enjoying teaching weekly classes and workshops to demystify the painting process and emphasize a strong foundation.
For over 40 years, Holly's paintings have been exhibited in solo and group shows across the United States, Central America, and Europe, with private collectors in these regions as well. She has been represented by galleries in Scottsdale, Arizona, and various locations in Texas, with corporate commissions including the Phoenix Children’s Hospital and Scottsdale Healthcare System. Holly also gives demonstrations for art groups and serves as a judge at art shows, showcasing her expertise and experience in the art world.
