J. Holland BerkleyWhether she is developing concepts on paper, canvas, or metal plates, Holland Berkley strives to draw honest and intriguing lines, to investigate the beautiful, as well as the odd, and to illuminate the common. Berkley’s goal is to convey a sense of mystery and awe. Her human forms, abstracted rather than literal, are placed in an environment of graphic symbols and universal patterns derived from primitive cultures. 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 materials used by Holland are extensive and ever changing: raw pigments, charcoal, glazes, varnishes, and metallic leaf. Berkley received her Bachelor of Fine arts in Painting and Art Education from the University of Southern Mississippi and taught art in the elementary public school system before pursuing a full time career as an artist. Her work can be found in many notable private and public collections including Disney Corporation, Exxon Corporation, Universal Studios, Federal express, Larson Juhl, Inc, and the Ritz Carlton Corporation.
