Mark Holly

Mark was born and raised in Houston and is a proud Texan. He is a fine art photographer and creative digital artist.  His work fluctuates in the boundaries between high definition, photographic realism to impressionism and abstraction.  His photography gives you a sense of being "in" the location yourself almost as if you could reach out and touch elements in the scene.  His digital art explores creative boundaries and is often considered edgy with bold colors, unique shapes, forms, and compositions.  Look for small elements of realism often hidden in his abstracts. 

This ability to create interest in everything from the real world to the highly abstract has garnered him numerous awards, magazine covers, articles, etc.  One of his shots was chosen as being in the top six weather-related photographs of 2017 by Shutterbug Magazine, an international publication.
 
Some of Mark's favorite subjects are beautiful Texas Hill Country landscapes as well as interesting architectural settings from the very old to new and contemporary structures.  He draws his inspiration from the changing seasons and their impact on the Hill Country landscape such as fall colors, immense fields of vibrant wildflowers to dry, arid, almost desert-like co...

Mostly self-taught taking numerous online classes and several classroom instructions. Craig Tanner was one of my favorite online and in-person instructors. He had a wonderful eye for fine art photography and was exceptional at teaching important design elements.

Over 40 years of experience of exploration and shooting various subject matter. Digital Art plays a large role in my current works.
