Artists in conversation

Georgia O'Keeffe
American · b. 1887

O'Keeffe similarly used soft, organic forms and earth tones on paper to evoke natural landscapes and water with an abstract yet deeply sensory quality. Her pastel and graphite works share Hollowell's fluid, meditative approach to depicting nature through simplified, gestural abstraction.

Helen Frankenthaler
American · b. 1928

Frankenthaler's abstract works explore water, landscape, and atmospheric mood through fluid, ethereal color fields that closely parallel Hollowell's serene and gestural approach to natural forms. Both artists translate bodily and environmental sensations into softly luminous abstract compositions.

Joan Mitchell
American · b. 1925

Mitchell created emotionally charged abstract works inspired by landscape and nature using layered, gestural marks that evoke water and earth tones with great fluidity. Her pastel works on paper share Hollowell's combination of temporal specificity and serene yet expressive abstraction drawn from natural observation.
