The Art of Doug Holdread
My work is currently on display at the Colorado State Capital
Doug Holdread has been exploring and depicting the landscapes of Southeastern Colorado for nearly four decades. And he has explored his own inner landscape in the process. Doug's work has been featured in numerous solo exhibitions, including one at the National Palace of Fine Art in San Miguel, Mexico.
His career began as an artist for the Coast Guard. He has been an educator, a television art director and a historical illustrator. His paintings are on display at the National Santa Fe Trail Center and the National Park Service has used a number of his paintings for exhibits along the Trail, from Missouri to New Mexico.
Doug coordinates the art program at Trinidad State Junior College and he is working on several murals there, including one depicting the history of the Purgatory River Valley.
