PAULA HOLTZCLAW
Far horizons and infinite skies are the hallmark of Paula Holtzclaw's art. Best
known for her landscapes celebrating areas still untouched by industrialism, her
depictions of its beauty, unspoiled by man, show her concern that these last wild
places may soon vanish. Her compositions, often large in scale, have a classic
and universal appeal.
Paula’s paintings have been displayed in numerous national juried and museum
exhibitions including: the Scottsdale Salon of Fine Art, The Salon International,
the International Marine Art Exhibition Mystic Seaport, and Bosque Art Classic.
She has received awards from American Women Artists, the National Oil and Acrylic
Painters Society and Women Artists of the West. Paula was a finalist in American Artist Magazine's 2010 and 2009 Cover Competitions. Holtzclaw was named one of Southwest Art Magazine’s “21 over 31: Artists to Know,” November 2010. Paula was also listed as “One to Collect,” by Southwest Art, July 2009.
Paula is a Signature Member of American Women Artists, The American Society of
Marine Artists and The National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society. She is an Associate
Member of Women Artists of the West, Oil Painters of America and the American
Impressionist Society.
"I choose to paint what is beautiful and meaningful, knowing that this act of
celebrating and communicating the beauty in this world has the power to uplift
and inspire."
