Holly Paino has been active in drawing for more than 30 years and am a largely self-taught artist. I have had the good fortune of approachable and helpful mentors in many different fields of art including pencils, oils, and watercolors. Drawing is a stress reliever, an outlet that is transformative and brings personal peace.

A majority of my work is done in graphite pencil and that medium has been my main focus for the last few years. I find it challenging to be able to create a believable work using only pencils, tortillions and erasing media. There is much that has been learned, but still much to be learned, and that journey has been a joyful one; it’s never been about the destination. I enjoy a wide range of subjects; dramatic light that plays on the sublime movements of muscle structure are my favorite. 

I continue to expand my horizon into color media, experimenting with watercolors – the fluidity and lack of control with the medium is a welcome diversion when presented with a particularly difficult graphite piece.

A native of California, I have travelled extensively throughout the world. Besides studying fine arts, I hold a bachelor’s degree in biology and have been a quality manager for a pharmaceutical excipient manufacturer for the last 18 years. I have received awards in local and regional exhibitions/competitions
