Carolyn S Holland, Artist
Working mainly in pastels, Carol finds the landscape of southwest Ohio and its environs endlessly inspirational.
She paints outside, known as "en plein air", and in studio, capturing local color wherever she finds it, hoping to convey her love of the region and what is off the beaten path.
Her emphasis on strong line and shape within her subject matter is based on a firm drawing foundation gleaned through her studies in Fine Arts and Medical Illustration.
Recently, Carol was privileged to study with local artist, David Mueller, taking his two-year Sophisticated Fundamentals class. She is an associate member of the Cincinnati Art Club, a plein air member of the Brush and Palette Painters and a signature member of the Pastel Society of America.
