Paula Holtzclaw
Master of Landscapes and Still Lifes
North Carolina artist Paula Holtzclaw has gained a national reputation for her ability to capture the drama of nature on canvas. She is
most widely known for her landscapes where her fascination with light and atmosphere is most evident. Her still life paintings of which
her “Orchids and Pears” is featured on this back cover, demonstrate a love of the Old Masters’ works.
As a native Carolinian, she gains much of her
inspiration along the coastline, vast marshlands,
and the southern landscape. Holtzclaw’s paintings
have been included in many national juried and
museum exhibitions. Museum venues include the
Haggin Museum, Gilcrease Museum, Booth Western
Art Museum, Muscarelle Museum of Art, the Tuscon
Desert Museum, and the Arizona Sonora Desert
Museum. Paula has been the recipient of notable
awards including: President’s Award, Women Artists
of the West 51st National Exhibition 2021, Award
of Excellence, American Womens Artists National
2019, Third Place – Master’s division, Womens
Artists of the West National 2021, 2020, 2019,
The F and M Bank Purchase Award, American Women
Artists National 2018.
