Born in Lebanon , Indiana, and raised in the small town of Hortonville, Beverly Holliday, now resides in Westfield. She has been married to her wonderful, husband, Ron, for 43 years. Beverly is the mother of three and the grandmother of six and she still finds time to enjoy her passion, oil painting. Her interest in oil painting was peeked when she saw a Bob Ross Art Show on television while she was recovering from surgery. After her recovery, she began awakening her own artistic abilities in September of 2000 with the help of Eloise Ragan. "Painting fills a void in my life since my kids are grown and on their own. I have discovered a creativity in me that I never knew I had."?

Beverly enjoys painting many different subjects including still life, landscapes, seascapes, florals, as well as portraits. Her strong desire is to challenge herself with each painting which allows her to broaden her considerable talent. "Life is too short. I would like to paint all the time now because there is so much that I want to explore artistically. I want to do it all. I look back at my early work and I can see such dramatic growth ... and I hope to continue to soar into expressing more of the beauty that surrounds me on canvas. My greatest gift is to be able to bring joy to others through my paintings."
