Constantly pushing beyond realistic colors and textures of the "ordinary" scenes around her, Holly hopes to draw attention to her surroundings and encourage the enjoyment of the beauty of nature. Using many layers of acrylics and random textures to create surprise passages one can find themselves drawn into the painting and discovering unexpected shapes and subjects hidden in plain sight! Color is her favorite element and her use of color results in joyful, uplifting pieces of art. These prints are created with care and the images are as true as possible to the original painting.
Holly Hunter Berry / Biography
How did the decision to start working full-time as an artist begin for Holly? After several years in “non art related businesses” she jumped in, studied under master painters in addition to formal academics and never looked back. That was many decades ago!
Representationalist, impressionist, colorist, and expressionist are a few of the "ist" terms that have defined her work at various times. She continues to grow and push herself to explore new fresh approaches to communicating her message. She looks forward to working at the easel every day possible. At this stage in Holly's career, she enjoys giving back to the community by teaching her weekly classes and periodic workshops. She tries to teach in a way to take the mystery out of the painting process. Intuition is important but a strong foundation is important as well and that is her focus. Intuition is personal and can't be taught...that is the voice of the artist! In addition to giving demonstrations for art groups, she has also been asked to be a judge at various art shows.
Holly's paintings have been exhibited in both solo and group shows in the United States, Central America, and Europe for over 40 years.
There are private collectors in the United States, Central America, and Europe. She has been represented by galleries in Scottsdale, Arizona, and in several locations in Texas. Corporate commissions include the Phoenix Children’s Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, and the Scottsdale Healthcare System, Shea Campus, Woman’s Health Center in Scottsdale, Arizona.
