About the Item

Previously with: Janet Fleisher and The Little Gallery, Philadelphia, PA (from stamp, verso). Peggy Holloway's work is held in the permanent collections of the Rehoboth Art League, among others. Born and raised in Bolton Hill, MD, Peggy Holloway studied art at the Martinet School in Baltimore. She was encouraged in her career by Adelyn Breeskin, former director of the Baltimore Museum of Art ,and influenced by Baltimore painters Herman Maril and Gladys Goldstein. Her work was profoundly influenced by her worldwide travels, particularly trips to Spain and Mexico and she developed into a prolific and widely exhibited painter and collagist. Holloway won many awards for her bold and colorful abstract impressionist paintings. She exhibited her work at 20 one-artist shows inprominent national galleries and museums including the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Peale Museum, the Corcoran Gallery and the Smithsonian Institution. Unlike many (pure) abstract painters Holloway always started a canvas with a theme or subject matter in mind and enjoyed painting from nature.
