Althea Holmes finds inspiration in the colours and shapes she observes in the environment wherever she is. When painting, she likes the immediacy of acrylics, sometimes including mixed media. Drawing has always been a passion for her, and she also enjoys pastels, drawing, and print media. Landscapes are predominantly her subject, but seascapes and portraiture are also favorites. Her progression into a more abstract viewpoint is enabling a different perception of subject matter, as well as a change in technique and tools.
