Holly Kallie's Gallery
Expressing my world on paper and
canvas has been the basis of my life for as long as I can remember. I can't
recall a time when I wasn't observing the world through the eyes of an
artist. Crayons and paints were an important part of my world as a very
small child. The desire to paint or draw the people in my world, using the
lakes and beaches that I love as a setting, continues to be a driving force
in my life.
I developed a close affinity to water early in life, during the summers
spent at my parents’ tiny cottage on a lake. Living in my own little cottage
on a lake these many years later, I continue to be fascinated by the
constantly changing colors, reflections and mystery below the surface. For
me, water carries the same essence or spirit as the women and children that
I paint - -flowing, changing, playful and elusive.
My realistic style is achieved using many layers and glazes of paint. I love
the process of bringing my figures and the water to life on canvas or paper.
I am self-taught and my style has been refined by the constant observation
of the effects of light on a figure or water and the hundreds of paintings I
have produced over the years. I have recently returned to pastels and
although the process is somewhat different, the results are similar.
With my art, I seek to bring a sense of joy, love, peace and connection to
our natural surroundings. I hope my paintings take you there.
