BIOGRAPHY
Ash Holmes is a self-taught Sydney-based artist. Drawing on colour
psychology and her environment, her practice on Guringai Land is an
ever-evolving source of inspiration in her abstract paintings.
Creativity runs in her blood. As a fourth-generation artist, Holmes
practices across large canvases with acrylic and oil paint. The texture
is built through gestural mark-marking to imprint the canvas, eluding
a sense of time and place. Holmes encompasses her research in colour
psychology to give the works a sensory effect - the harmonious tones
of the environment connect her audience to the landscape she creates
within.
In 2021, Holmes was selected as the resident artist for the Harboard
Hotel. Ash has been a finalist in two special art awards, the Mosman
Prize Finalist and the Llovd Rees Award Memorial Award and Combat
Prize Finalist.
