		Ms. Hollander has worked with all media and exhibits nationally. Her work has been featured in American Artist Watercolor magazine and also appears in private and corporate collections. Currently, Ms. Hollander is teaching and working from her studio in Bay Harbor Islands. Hollander’s paintings begin with everyday images: commonplace objects, people she meets and images from the mass media. She describes the process of artistic creation in the following way:
		“I try to use the painting medium so that the paint, water and support are the true subject matter and the images are just an excuse to begin. In the beginning, I describe the image accurately. But as the paint begins to flow and the right brain takes over, the images change, develop and become new entities. The result is an interesting and exciting creation.”
