Holly Dunn spent 25 years in the Country Music industry as an award winning composer, producer and recording artist. From her 10 albums, Holly garnered 14 top ten hits, 4 number 1’s and awards from every music entity including, The Academy of Country Music “New Female Vocalist” award, The CMA “Horizon” award, and 3 Grammy Award nominations. One of her most beloved and enduring songs, “Daddy’s Hands, is listed in the Top 100 Greatest Country Songs ever recorded.

In 2003, after an exciting career of hit records, world tours, and TV appearances, Holly kept a long held promise to herself stepping away from music, trading her guitar for pastels and a quieter life.  She now finds her artistic inspiration in the imagery of Texas and the Desert Southwest; its architecture, natural wonders and cultural icons.

In 2009 Holly moved from Santa Fe, NM where she had been living since leaving Nashville, and settled near family in Central Texas.

Of her art Holly says, “I love the high contrast of intense light and deep shadow. There is a magical time of day, morning and evening, when the light is low in the sky, shadows deepen and everything seems lit with from within. Capturing those fleeting moments is my passion.” She dedicates all her work to the “Original Creator” and indeed, there is an unmistakable spiritual quality in all of her work.
