Holly Fassett |
| Holly Fassett is known for her vibrant
acrylic renditions of the Big Sur Coast. She calls Highway One "Big
Sur’s Life Line" and many of her most intense images reflect the
power of the road as it winds it’s way along the coast, describing this
most dynamic meeting of land and sea. Most recently, Holly has brought her
gaze inward to more domestic scenes, exploring the intimate juxtapositions
of color and pattern of the still-life, under the tutelage of her brother,
noted artist/designer Kaffe Fassett.
Since childhood, Holly has been immersed in the creative life. Her great grandmother was Jane Gallatin Powers, a noted painter who had the first artist’s studio in Carmel and worked with her husband Frank Powers to create Carmel-by-the-Sea. Her parents Lolly and Bill Fassett built Nepenthe in Big Sur, a legendary watering hole for artists, poets, writers and bohemians, where Holly works to this day. 26543 Carmel Rancho Blvd., Carmel, Ca 93923 Phone & Fax 831-624-1172 bigsurgallery.com bigsurgallery@sbcglobal.net
