Framed original mixed painting titled inverso and hand signed by Holland-Berkley, w/COA. Gallery price $4,200! Holland-Berkley said, “I like to keep the final interpretation of my work up to the viewer. That’s why I’ve always been drawn to abstraction. I can put a story in the painting, but it’s open-ended and each viewer can complete it in their own way. That someone will be inspired is what I strive for.” Her images are achieved through many layers of glazes, washes, and textural compounds, along with the incorporation of other elements such as sand and newspaper. Only by this method does she achieve the age-worn patina of old paintings or the weathered surface of stone, wood, metals, and fabric. The list of materials used by Holland is extensive and ever changing: raw pigments, charcoal, glazes, varnishes, and metallic leaf. Holland received her Bachelor of Fine arts in Painting and Art Education from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1972. She went on to teach art in the elementary public school system before pursuing a full time career as an artist. Over the years, she has received numerous awards and exhibited in galleries and museums across the country.
