Pearl of Wisdom Art::  Original oil paintings of Maeve Holden

The Why. Photographer: Alex De Cordoba

I create art to inspire people to trust in their own greater potential and creativity. I hope that in my work they see the greater connection between the world and their own selves and inspired to live and love to their fullest.

When I see something, I feel it on a deeper level. In my paintings I want you to feel the idea, item, or scene on an emotional level, as if it surrounds you. The language of color is very important, how the paint interacts within the composition, what that color imparts to the viewer, the interdependence of the hues or how shades or textures of one color can create a full range of expression within itself. My desire is for people to be moved by the works to see beyond just the painting into the creative force that surround them, and be inspired.

The fully realized painting comes to me with little rehearsal. I mostly paint from my mind's eye. I am vehicle for the expression of the emotional content as the idea moves through me into existence, just waiting for the right moment to be born.

My art is accessible and alive. It is created for others, and is meant to be inspiration, a part of people's hearts and homes. Support and interdependence are core values of mine.

Why Pearl of Wisdom? In the east, dragons chase the fiery Pearl of Wisdom to gain understanding and power. For me, each painting is it's own unique manifestation of a deeper aspect of this world.

Namaste.
