“She’s Come Undone” Original Painting 16”x16”

This is Faces in a Crowd —

a collection born from color, connection, and contrast.

I asked friends and family to send me colors that inspired them.

Those shades became the heartbeat of these pieces.

From there, I explored the space between structure and the organic—

shapes that are both intentional and free.

Each painting captures a fragment of a moment,

a feeling,

a face you might almost recognize.

This is my latest work—personal, layered, and full of quiet stories.

”She’s Come Undone”

16”x 16” canvas, unframed
Mixed Media original painting by Angela Holman.

This collection of paintings was inspired by the people in my life. What started out in my mind as organic pebble shapes quickly became crowds of people. Each time my husband walked through my studio as I was painting he mentioned that the paintings looked like crowds to him…Then I started seeing it too!  So each painting has a story, a memory, or a feeling connected to it. 

“She’s Come Undone” was the last painting of the collection. As you can see, it’s looser…it has different marks and it’s a small canvas. Even though I considered making this a collection of 20 instead of 15, I knew with this painting that I was finally finished exploring these shapes and that I was ready to experiment with a different style. I enjoyed being inspired by my friends and family. I enjoyed experimenting with color combinations and I loved focusing on and painting an entire collection.
