Catherine V. Holmes
celebrates painting by crafting works that explore many artistic personalities
with an impressionistic feel that cannot be tied down to a specific style.
Holmes has pursed a number of recent projects ranging from old world Faux
Frescoes to complex architectural works to splashy expressionistic aerial
interpretations of seaside towns. This is a small component of her broader
examination of the continuing possibilities in creativity and in evoking a
response from the eye of the beholder.
The artist explains:
“To paint is to journey
through the creation of a piece, exploring the process along the way and
provoking emotion with the end result. My intention through art is to ignite
conversation, make visual surroundings more interesting and most of all . . .
to make people smile.”
Always enjoying the challenges of new subject matter and
artistic concepts, Holmes' artwork is ever-changing. Her work has won numerous
awards and her paintings are owned by private individuals as well as corporate
collectors.
