Item Description
Brucie Holler, a South Carolina native, received a degree in painting from Florida State University and did graduate work at the Maryland Institute, College of Art in Baltimore. She then moved to Telluride and worked for five years teaching and serving as Director of Exhibitions for the Ah Haa School for the Arts. She has studied with a variety of internationally known artists including Richard Smith, Mario Martinez and Truman Lowe among others and has shown her work in galleries in Florida, South Carolina, Georgia and Colorado. She moved back to the beach in South Carolina in 1997 with her twin sons, Ian and Casey, and husband Greg, where she paints full-time, teaches, cooks, and spends as much time near the water as she can.
Brucie has taught workshops to all ages, from 5 to 75. She has taught as a resident artist and teacher within the public school system many times and has offered weekend, week-long and on-going classes in “Mixed Media Collage” and “Painting from the Soul”. She loves teaching to the artistically uninitiated and to the competent artist as each are an exciting challenge and inspiration.
Statement:
“As a non-representational painter, I am interested in exploring the source of inspiration. How do we walk through our lives, experiencing day to day moments, absorbing beauty, responding to nature, language, music, or life itself, and translate that into authentic, personal, transcendent art? What drives me as a painter is honing in on that inspiration, channeling it and then creating spaces and moments of contemplation and beauty through color, line and form. We all are inspired by our lives, our connections to the world around us. How do we access this inspiration and then translate that into a painting?”
