2022

About the Item

Katheryn Holt paints memory. Her abstract paintings are infused with half-remembered landscapes. She has been documenting her interior and exterior life through painting since she was 4 years old. Growing up on Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles, in the 1950s and 1960s, her frame of visual references was formed both by horizon lines extending across a seemingly endless Pacific Ocean and the cultural influences of post-World War 2 America. Holt studied painting at the University of Southern California and graduated with a B.F.A. from Art Center College of Design. She taught at New York’s School of Visual Arts, has won awards from the Society of Illustrators, and was included in American Illustratorand Outstanding American Illustrators. She has exhibited in many solo and group shows, including eight shows at Tria Gallery, New York; national juried competitions including the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, the Santa Cruz Art League, and the Bolinas Museum; and was featured in a recent display in the windows of Saks Fifth Avenue in San Francisco. She won first place at the American Pastel Society and is part of the permanent collection in the KunstMuseum, Hollfeld, Germany. Her work has been shown in New York, Germany, Texas, Georgia, Colorado, and California. We hold properties of the surrounding environment within us. Nature is interactive and we are interconnected with nature. We are inseparable from the atmosphere as it moves through us. We see, we breathe, we hear, and we feel. As an artist, said Katheryn, "I feel compelled to put down in my paintings my visual perceptions of long remembered feelings about such atmospheric forces from my own life growing up on a beach, and living, as I do now, in a valley at the base of a mountain. What we observe in our surrounding natural world we can then feel in the presence of its atmospheric flow. In sharing our observations about such phenomena with each another, we open ourselves to new ways of seeing and the possibility of a deeper understanding about how we share these powerful forces which nature holds over, around, and within us all. " The painting comes with a certificate of authenticity and a letter of appraisal. Represented by the American Art Gallery, Carmel CA

  • 'Twilight Vista' Landscape of Serene Huts amidst an Abstract Sky by Maria Poroy
    Located in Carmel, CA
    In this evocative piece, Poroy's artistic prowess paints dreams rather than scenes from life. At its core, the artwork features three quaint houses, each possessing a unique charm. Amidst the purple and blueish tones of the landscape, one house stands out, adorned in a vibrant shade of blue, creating a captivating contrast that draws the viewer's gaze. The scene unfolds under the enchanting light of twilight, where shadows cast by the gentle evening glow unveil the true essence of each house. It's a tableau of serenity, where time appears to stand still, and nostalgia fills the air. The background of the painting resembles a surreal ocean layer, adorned with soft, bubble-like circles that infuse the composition with a sense of otherworldly wonder. Maria Poroy...

  • Garden In Luca, White Chair
    Located in Westport, CT
    "My life as a painter began in the late 1950s when abstraction was “The only game in town”. I followed and progressed through gesture, organic and finally, geometric non-objective painting. The radical move for me was to discover that the real world of landscape lurked behind all that past work. My childhood in the mountains of Pennsylvania pervaded my “way of seeing” and I wanted to investigate and celebrate the infinite variety of tone, color and composition that I found around me. Sky, the structure of trees, mist and water appeared to fill a hunger to look again and again. There was mystery and danger lurking behind the beauty, and my aim was to try to avoid the cliché and explore the infinite structure of the visual landscape. Now I use my camera as a sketchbook and search for images that seem to offer odd structure and “mystery”. I shoot multiple points of view, cull, crop, and mostly discard. The surviving photographs become the catalyst for the paintings and the process is always a mediation between memory and the small image pinned to my easel...
