The most consistent theme in my 40 years of artistic pursuits is my deep symbiotic connection to my surroundings. Symbiosis is defined as "an interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, usually to the advantage of both."

My personal and artistic ambition is to bring viewers into that relationship so that they can become part of this unique connection and share

this opportunity to preserve the environment that feeds and nourishes us for the better.

My home at the top of a hill in Arkwright, looking over the valley that leads to distant Lake Erie is an ongoing, evolving installation.The 53-acre site includes orchards, reforestation, waterway restoration, wildlife habitat protection, erosion prevention, gardens and a working art studio. This largest work of art is a forum for study, respite, and inspiration.

Here Holland has been caring for the macrocosm on the microcosm since 1993. Evidence of changing climate is evident in recent years, as the natural water resources do not keep up with drought.

I often digitize images to distill the elements that light obscures and capture a glimpse of the "otherworld" we so often walk by without a forward or backward glance. From my organic gardens, steel sculptures, to the surreal abstractions and dynamic installations, my art is a reflection of all of us, as I see it.
