Mae Holliday

Mae Holliday traveled for years as a circus performer before settling in Nashville, Tennessee. The first paintings were of the horses Holliday had worked with, and memories of those animals still drive the work. A degree in graphic design helps with composition, though the painting itself is self-taught.

Holliday’s impressionist style is warm and often playful. Bears turn up again and again: one resting by Big Bear Lake, two dancing in moonlight, one in teal glasses and a plaid suit. City scenes balance the wildlife, from the Dallas skyline at sunset to the palms of Key West. The best sellers below are printed on matte canvas and ready to hang.
