Painting waves and water is a very special art in itself, demanding skill and detailed observation of water translucency, movement and colour.
Holly has mastered all kinds of brush strokes and paint effects to carry off these energetic wave and tide paintings, working at all scales.
We have chosen a trio of works that experiment with different types of splashes, froth, broken waves and whitewash, varying the power and speed of the water, adding clever light and shade touches and working mainly in vibrant blues and turquoise shades.
These are confident paintings that make a statement at any scale, but more so when they are large, like A Breath of Freedom. They have impact from a distance and they also draw you in to admire their structures and nuances.
ABOUT HOLLY DUNHAM
Holly is an internationally-selling artist who captures memories, moments and emotions in magical seascapes, landscapes and florals. Vibrant colours and textures sweep across the canvas, adding mood and vibrancy. Each painting is filled with heart and spirit - her celebration of nature and all its healing powers.
She graduated in Fine Art at the University of The West of England following Art College.

After graduating she became a a qualified art teacher at Masters level.
She spent a number of years away from the canvas before returning to what she truly feels she was meant to do.
"It took courage and patience to take the leap from teaching to stepping back into my artist’s shoes – but I feel so grateful that I did. I try to bring joy and clarity and to transport the viewer to a place of peace and mindfulness. My palette is generated by mood, embracing what is in my head and also what is in reality, often a dance between both.
" I love hearing how much my customers are enjoying their artwork and feel very blessed to have many returning clients."
