Holder Dane Gallery &
Artists Studios is known for the unexpected variety of art and artists who bring both their visual and instructional expertise to the north Texas region. Located on Main Street in historic downtown Grapevine, the gallery is part of the vibrant attractions and events that draw visitors year-round.
Four resident artists work daily in the gallery studio: painters Donna Palmersheim and Deborah Allison and sculptors Pat Bodnyk and Natalie O’Neill. The majority of the gallery’s artists are local yet nationally acclaimed, including Ann Hardy, Marie Maines, Randy Saffle and Adam Schultz. All three have membership with a number of artists groups, including
Oil Painters of America for Hardy; Pastel Society of America for Maines; the Outdoor Painters Society for Saffle, who is also the group’s vice president; and Schultz is an elected member of the National Sculpture Society.
Artists recently joining the gallery include sculptor Philippe Faraut, a figurative artist who works in clay, metal and stone; painter Robin Munro, who works in watercolors and pastels; and guest artist Ralf Altrieth, who makes abstracted figures that standout among the more traditional art. Leo Franco, of Denver, brings another contemporary note with his wall sculptures made from Plexiglas, wood and metal.
The gallery thrives on the diverse sales of both contemporary works and representational art, yet recently favors a trend toward impressionist styles. The family of artists that make up Holder Dane Gallery exemplifies the description of “a highly curated variety” of “unexpected visual delight.”
