Justin Holdren
Justin Holdren had an interest in art from an early age and his parents encouraged his creative interests. Justin began drawing as soon as he could hold a pencil and he started painting while in high school. Upon completion of art school, he became partner in a graphic design firm and also started painting landscapes on location. After a life changing trip to the landscapes of Africa, his interests quickly moved from commercial design work to fine art painting and capturing the beauty of the landscape. Justin enjoys capturing the beauty of life from scenes in his home state of NC and places seen in his travels. Although mostly known for his landscapes and scenes inspired by nature, Justin also enjoys finding beauty in exploring other subjects as well. Justin's work has appeared in juried and solo exhibitions and can be found in private collections across the country. He travels and enjoys painting from life on location as well as paint-
ing in his studio in the historic Glencoe Mill in Burlington, NC. His oil and acrylic paintings are predominately impressionistic in style, although he does enjoy experimenting with other styles of painting. He lives with his wife Lucinda and their two daughters in central North Carolina.
"Many things inspire me, but I am especially fascinated with landscapes and scenes from nature. Every time I step out the door and witness the beauty of nature I am inspired to capture it on canvas. My primary goal in my work is to make people slow down and see the beauty in things we often take for granted. If I can capture the beauty of life through art or have someone can look at my work and escape the daily pressures of life for just a moment, then I've done my job. I hope people enjoy viewing my work as much as I enjoy creating it."
