Bio – Karen Holloway

Ask others who I am, and you’ll get differing answers. I’m a friend and a neighbor. I’m a wife, a mother, a grandmother. All of these things I’ve become, but I think I’ve always been an artist.

Over the years I’ve had the great fortune to study closely with nationally renowned painters such as Robert Seufert and John Ennis, and to regularly visit and study within various fine art programs in Rome and Florence, Italy. As my skills have progressed, I’ve transitioned from a realist to an expressionist artist.

Through all of this, my family, friends, and teachers have been invaluable critics and cheerleaders as I’ve tried to communicate my experiences through paint, stone, fiber, and wax mediums.

Although most of my early works were in Oils, I now work almost exclusively in encaustics. My current work can be seen in The Broken Crayon Collection. You can learn more about this collection in my Artist Statement.

I live in Wallingford, Delaware County, Pennsylvania with my best friend and husband, Don. You can reach me at holloway.karen@gmail.com.
