Israel Holloway Bio
Israel Holloway was born in 1972 in Boulder Colorado and grew up in the Yampa Valley. He spent
several years as a third generation sign painter, also working in construction, woodworking and drafting.
He began painting full time in 2010 and taught painting, drawing, and 2-D design courses at Colorado
Northwestern Community College for 5 years.
Israel takes thousands of pictures at horse drives, rodeos, on back roads and ranches that inspire
his life-like paintings. He is a self taught artist who enjoys pushing the watercolor medium in scale, and
also creates pieces using only red wine on cotton paper. Israel and his family live in the Yampa Valley
sharing the same back country as Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, Ann Bassett, and the Wild Bunch.
His award winning watercolor paintings exhibit at the Coors Western Art Exhibit and Sale, ‘The
Russell’Auction to benefit the C.M. Russell Museum, the Mountain Oyster Club and have been featured
in Southwest Art, Western Art & Architecture and Wild West magazine. Israel completed the World’s
Largest Watercolor Painting in 2021, permanently displayed at the Museum of Northwest Colorado. He is
currently represented by Jace Romick Gallery in Steamboat Springs Colorado, Lovetts Gallery in Tulsa,
and of course Western Skies Fine Art in Afton Wyoming.
“Most of my figurative work explores honesty, resilience, patience, humility, and certainly beauty
because those are attributes I would like to see in myself and humanity as a whole. I prefer themes that
express our current world and share the western spirit.”
