Holly Olive is a Colorado-based painter. She was born in North Dakota, but has lived in a wide range of landscapes from the Mojave Desert to New England. This variety of landscapes is evident in the paintings she creates today. Inspired by dreams of altered worlds, her paintings embody the movement and color of an altered universe. Using acrylic and alcohol ink, she creates abstract landscapes of a world that is just outside her reach. She casts out her brush as if it were a wizard’s wand in unpredictable strokes to inflict a visual experience that stimulates the mind to ask “What world is this?” She uses a palette knife with an intentional splat to cleave into the fabric of time and space. She works back and forth, layer to layer, until she verges on falling from the precipice to a new and precious universe.
