My name is Martin Holland, born in England and now based in the vibrant state of Texas, I am an artist with a passion for transforming everyday moments into captivating works of art. With a diverse range of artistic tools, including pen and ink, markers, and watercolors, I love to explore the beauty of the world.

Having journeyed from “across the pond” to the heart of Texas, I bring a distinctive perspective to my art. Whether it's the sprawling landscapes of Texas, the intricate details of historic buildings, or the rich diversity of people and cultures, I aim to capture the essence of life's simple yet profound moments.

Pen and ink, markers, and watercolors are my preferred mediums, each chosen for its ability to convey different aspects of everyday life. The precision of pen and ink allows intricate detail, while markers infuse blended colors with vibrancy and energy. Watercolors, with their fluid and unpredictable nature, enable evoking emotions and moods that pen and ink sometimes cannot capture.

I hope that through my art, you'll discover a fusion of two worlds - the old-world charm of England and the boundless landscapes of Texas. This juxtaposition of cultures and environments adds a dimension to my work, serving a dose of nostalgia with a peppering of contemporary!

I love when art is an invitation to pause, reflect, and appreciate the world around us in all its detail. A testament to the idea that art has the power to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, to see the world from a unique perspective.
