Beni Holley Art
About Me
Hi, I'm Beni Holley
Originally from the hills of West Virginia and now calling Washington State home, I've always found inspiration in the natural world around me. From the Appalachian Mountains to the forests and waterways of the Pacific Northwest, the beauty of these landscapes continue to shape both my life and my artwork.
I create from Beni Holley Art Studio, usually with my Dobermans close by. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and they often find their way into my paintings. Whether I'm creating pet portraits, or nature-inspired pieces, I enjoy capturing the character, spirit, and stories that make each subject unique.
Though I have always had a passion for art, I did not start painting until later in life. This passion now allows me to combine my love of animals, nature, and creativity. I especially enjoy painting subjects that evoke memories, emotions, and connections to the people and places we cherish.
When I'm not painting, you'll likely find me exploring nature, spending time with my husband and dogs, enjoying live music, or searching for inspiration for my next piece.
Thank you for visiting Beni Holley Art Studio. I'm glad you're here, and I hope my artwork brings a little of the beauty and joy I find in the world into your home.

Professional Bio
I have always been creative and had a love for the arts but just in recent years discovered that I had a talent for painting. I am a self taught artist that did not paint my first painting until after retiring from a thirty-two year career as a professional pet groomer and business owner followed by a six year stint in the professional music world.
Art and Music have alway had presence in our home. Though I have never mastered playing an instrument, the violin led me to the opportunity to become involved in the business side of the professional music world giving me the opportunity to work with, manage, and tour the United States and abroad with some amazingly talented, professional musicians. I have had the
privilege to work with hundreds of presenters, venues, and music industry professionals all across the country.
