Before I begin a painting, I am reminded of Dorothy in Kansas. When the paint hits the canvas, I have landed in OZ. I like to pull the viewer into the work. Having the viewer "plant" their feet in the painting allows them to see all around it.
Although subject is important, the main purpose of my work is to provide the person viewing it, a sense of being in it. I like to do this with bright vivid colour providing a sense of movement and dance.
Artist Bio
Anya Holloway lived in Ontario before moving to the Maritimes to paint. She has been involved in art for most of her life, studying art and architecture throughout her high school years, and upon graduating earned her degree in Toronto in Graphic Arts. She continued her personal artistic growth by taking courses in the Fine Arts. Her watercolours, black and white photographs and pen and ink sketches have appeared at various art shows throughout Ontario and the Maritimes. She has continued to paint, not only in watercolours, but has broadened her scope through the use of acrylics, oils and mixed medium. Her work is held in private collections in Canada, the United States, Europe and Australia.
