David Holland on Keeping His Head in the Clouds

Oklahoma City-based painter David Holland, born into an army family, had lived in Oklahoma, Kansas, Okinawa Japan, Idaho, Maryland, and Arkansas by the time he graduated from high school. When he was seven, his mother enrolled him in an art class that sparked his interest in creating art, while his family’s travels exposed him to a broad range of people and communities. Always the outsider, he became an observer of everything around him.
