Brooke Holve is a visual artist who makes mixedmedia works, installations, constructions, and artist books. Her work investigates connections and interactions of language, memory, place, and natural phenomena. Her art practice has taken her through explorations of calligraphy, bookbinding, printmaking, digital technology, and poetry. Interested in combining mediums, she draws from each discipline to make art. Her probing work investigates culture, memory, place, language, time, and natural phenomena. She often looks for materials and objects that hold a history. The interplay of materials and methods inform her process; and overtime expose possibilities for shaping form. She often attempts to put together disparate “things” that have come apart, but were once traditional structures used to preserve, protect, and hold.

Holve’s work has been exhibited throughout the U.S. Her work is in collections in the U.S., Ireland, and Great Britain. She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and lives and works in Sebastopol, California.
