As an artist,

there are always four things that continue
to influence my work:

Nature

Movement

Flow

Beauty

As a high school student and early college years
my interest was in botany - but along came dance into my life.

I studied dance at the University of Arkansas, Stevens College in Columbia Missouri, and at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

In 1972 I established the Frank Holder Dance Company, and for 12 years my company toured the country for the National Endowment for the Arts.

Now, mixed media, sculpture and painting are the directions of my work. Still, the forms of nature, movement, flow and beauty are the same influences of my new work.

Creating and making art brings so much joy into my life, and I hope by sharing it with the public brings joy to you.
