American, b. 1956

Paula Holtzclaw has gained a national reputation for her ability to capture the drama of nature on canvas. Light-filled paintings of pristine, undeveloped landscapes are executed with a unique blend of classical realism and impressionism, while her still life paintings demonstrate a love of the Old Masters’ works. Paula was inspired early in life by her Grandmothers, both of whom were painters.  As a native Carolinian, she gains much of her inspiration along our coastline, vast marshlands and the southern landscape. Holtzclaw’s paintings have been included in many national juried and museum exhibitions.
