Holly Ann Friesen is a nationally represented visual artist with an art practice built on paintings that capture the essence of the Canadian landscape. Her work involves taking the familiar and creating something new in abstraction. With a bachelor and master degree in plant science, and more recently studies toward a Master of Landscape Architecture, she continues to explore and shape the landscape. 

"My goal through my art practice is to create an emotional connection to landscape without physically replicating it. I encourage the viewer to impress their experiences, memories, and associations on the work." - Holly Ann Friesen
