Pat Holland

Pat lives and works in the small hamlet of Giffordtown in the Howe of Fife in Scotland.  Her studio is the old stable of an 18th century farmhouse situated on the remaining two acres of original farm land.

She paints in oils drawing much of her inspiration from both Scotland and France. Her work is characterised by a distinctive use of paint in a bold impressionist style working almost entirely with a palette knife .  The mood of her work ranges from tranquil to vibrant.  She is particularly attracted to the elements of pattern and form and the way in which light shapes what we see around us.
