Please join us on Thursday, May 22nd, at Mission Boathouse in Beverly, when Cape Ann Plein Air hits the road and heads out of town for a unique evening that pairs dining with the artistry of plein air painter Holly Anderson Popeo.
Holly Anderson Popeo is an oil painter living in North Reading, Massachusetts. She studied Graphic Design at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where she received her BFA. She began her career painting in watercolors, but soon discovered her love of painting with oils.
After college, Holly worked as a Graphic Designer. She later taught for the Creative Arts program in North Reading. Holly has worked with interior decorators painting furniture, small murals and trompe l'oeil designs in peoples' homes. She has also painted large murals, including one located in the North Reading Public Library.
Holly is a member of the Reading Art Association, an Associate Member at the North Shore Art Association, Newburyport Art Association and a Contributing Member at the Rockport Art Association. She exhibits her work in shows throughout the Northshore. She has taken workshops and classes with many wonderful instructors including Susan Manning O'Briant, Paul George, Paul Ciaramitaro, J.C. Airoldi, and David Curtis. Each instructor has served as a mentor, and has significantly contributed to her skills and passion for creating art.
Holly's favorite subject is the outdoors. She likes to paint landscapes quickly while enjoying her natural surroundings. She is an avid gardener, which greatly influences her work. As in her garden, which is natural, free and loose, she strives to compose her paintings in the same spontaneous manner.
