Current Exhibit:

Holly Sturges

July 31 - October 12

"I respond to color and shape. The structures and landscapes at Sleeping Bear provide me endless views to paint."

Holly Sturges studied painting in New York at the New York Studio School, the Art Students League and the City College. She is strongly influenced by French Impressionists Bonnard and Vuillard and Americans like Porter, Avery, Hopper, Kahn and O'Keefe. Holly is known for her vivid colors and her ability to abstract a place or object while retaining its recognizable essence. Holly has had numerous solo shows featuring the landscapes of the Sleeping Bear National Park and has shown in ArtPrize, St. Cecilia's Terryberry Gallery, and the Muskegon Museum's Regional Show. Her paintings have been selected for three NYC galleries: Prince Street, Blue Mountain and the Bowry.
