I am primarily an abstract figurative artist. I use a variety of media (including acrylics, oils, soft pastels, oil sticks, charcoal, water colours, gouache, and mixed) to explore both the physical environment I am seeing, and an emotion I am feeling. I do this by intuitively making a mark and responding to that mark. My paintings are loose and experimental, inspired by open studio life drawing sessions and my experiences in the natural environment. These experiences are later realized on canvas, board, water colour paper, Yupo, Mylar, or Terraskin.
Holly Edwards is a self-taught visual artist from Lakefield who explores painting, and mixed media collage. She studied Philosophy at McMaster University and has pursued the arts her whole life, studying print making techniques, and expanding her practice by taking courses at The Haliburton School of the Arts in workshops with other artists. Holly uses various printmaking techniques to create collage papers, including monoprint, Suminigashi, and linocut, then applying those papers over a painted underlayer. Her collages have been featured in multiple print publications, including the Toronto Star, and the Paris Collage Collective.
Holly has completed two artist residencies and has participated in numerous group and juried shows in addition to several solo art shows. Galleries where she has shown her work include the Art Gallery of Peterborough, Art Gallery of Bancroft, Station Gallery (Whitby), Clarington Art Centre, Northumberland Gallery, John. B Aird Gallery (Toronto), Gallery 1313 (Toronto), Propellor Art Gallery (Toronto), Agnes Jamieson Gallery (Minden), Colborne Gallery (Fenelon Falls), the Japanese Paper Place (Etobicoke), Kawartha Art Gallery (Lindsay), ACME Art and Sailboat Company, and Ludmila Gallery (Peterborough).
