 About Holly Wach:

Holly’s artistic journey ignited at age eight, when she was enveloped by her mother's artistic pursuits, which filled their home with supplies and classes. This early exposure to the world of art sparked a deep passion within her, driving her quest to explore the profound connections between herself, her subjects, and the language of art.

Immersed in the classics, Holly pursued traditional studies at prestigious New York art institutions, earning an MFA from the New York Academy of Art and additional training at the Art Students League and the New York Studio School. Delving into the archives of The Metropolitan Museum of Art enriched her artistic and historical perspectives as she copied master drawings from esteemed collections.

Traversing landscapes across four continents, Holly's art is profoundly influenced by her travels, celebrating the intertwined essence of humanity and nature. Her visual dialogues, particularly centered around birds, embody human-like traits of emotion and intelligence, expressed through vibrant personalities and relationships.

Holly's art reaches audiences around the globe through her website, various art shows, and select galleries. She has earned critical acclaim, with her works displayed in notable venues such as MOCA Jacksonville and Audubon Rhode Island. Publications like the Boston Globe, the Providence Journal, and Where Women Create have spotlighted her talent. Additionally, her pieces hold a distinguished place in the permanent collection at the Langham Hotel in Boston, underscoring her influence and impact in the art world.

Highlighting her ability to merge art and science, Holly's collaboration with Google on a large-scale oil painting of the Smoky Mountains for the Quantum Google AI in Santa Barbara, CA, underscores her commitment to fostering innovation. Through direct collaboration with scientists, she creates art that serves as a sanctuary in a technology-driven world, inviting viewers to engage in meaningful dialogues with nature.
