Ebb and Flow: How Juliet Holland’s observations brought her home
Building literally from dust and earth, sand and clay... my work focuses on the process of transformation - from disintegration and decay to a new form of beauty. The surface reveals an archaeological history of the treatment it has received: rain and earthquake, ancient graffiti, hints of fragmented calligraphy like scars on the skin and soul. Erosion and layering evoking passing time and the continuum of change in nature's infinite progression.
An aspect that has always intrigued me is the mystery that lies within and behind---piercing of layers leading to unexpected discoveries beneath. This combination of deterioration and inflicted markings, construction and destruction, becomes a means of stating both the quality and unity of all things. No endings --- the process of becoming.

Silent Auction to benefit The Cabaret
An anonymous donor recently donated a fantastic collection of Mid-Century Modern furniture, Modern & Postmodern art, collectibles, and décor to The Cabaret in Indianapolis.
As someone who previously made my living in the performing arts, it's been difficult to see so many close friends who are musicians, actors, or just work at theaters struggle during the pandemic, so I was very enthusiastic when Shannon Forsell, the Artistic Director and CEO asked us to help sell this collection. We decided that it would fun to do an old school silent auction out of our shop. For the next two weeks, we've cleared out a third of our showroom to host this silent auction to help reopen The Cabaret.

“Painting is silent, and as with music must be experienced with inner vision. Music is to be listened to and heard with the inner ear, however, the heart of the activity is a combination of the two. With fine art, painting is the result of a refining response to improvisation of the elements. Color against color, shape to form, line crossing line, color overlapping line, shape to color and so forth. The artist purifies this process through faith. We face, in the reality of our personal time, to seek a new age, as ‘Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.’”
