Synopsis:
We talked about her upcoming shows - including a virtual exhibition. Holly shared her inspiration for painting - capturing and sharing her reverence for the Earth...about how her childhood was interconnected to the trees and the forest. We chatted about some amazing art residencies and how that grew her network and fed her growth as an artist. She shared her business tips of using @artworkarchive to manage her paintings and her philosophy of "saying yes!" to new adventures!
Artist Statement:
“My work revolves around earth-honoring images that reflect and instill connection to local bio-regions,” says Holly. “These images internalize a reverence for the earth and shift the intent from harming the world to living in a mutually life enhancing manner. I learn what I need to know by painting. The more I paint the less separation there is between inner and outer worlds. For me, painting is like deep prayer awakening an inner wilderness that reflects the earth’s landscape; the image is in you and you are in the image. Painting is my breath, beauty my compass and the earth is my body.”
