About the artist

Holly Haines is a classically trained New Zealand artist currently based in Edinburgh, specializing in oil paintings that capture the beauty of the world around us.

'My main inspirations for painting are light, colour and atmosphere. I aim to use these elements as a means of creating an integral connection with the subject.'

Holly began painting at an early age and attended several years of portrait painting workshops and untutored still life painting sessions. She works mainly in strongly pigmented oils, enjoying the depth of colour, vibrancy, and texture offered by this medium.
