THE FRAME SHOP:
Along with the talent of being an artist she is also a certified
master framer. She did a 4 year apprenticeship, worked and studied
framing in the States and Europe, and has owned her frame shop since
1999. She does conservation museum quality framing and restoration,
using only the highest quality material for the purpose of
preservation, after all the work that goes into creating a painting it
has to be protected so it will last hundreds of years.

THE ATELIER:
Along with running the frame shop and painting June also has pastel
painting classes in her shop/studio. It is an ongoing class
consisting of painting in pastel, color theory, composition, etc.
if
you are interested in taking the classes, just call to get more
information.
The pastel medium is pure pigment, the same pigment used in making
all fine art paints. It is the most permanent of all media when
applied to conservation ground and properly framed. Pastel has no
liquid binder that may cause other media to darken, fade, yellow,
crack or blister with time. Pastels from the 16th century
exist today, as fresh as the day they were painted.
An artwork is created by stroking the sticks of dry pigment across
an abrasive ground, embedding the color in the “tooth” of the paper,
sand board, canvas, etc. if the ground is completely covered with
pastel, the work is considered a pastel painting, and leaving much
of the ground exposed produces a pastel sketch. Techniques vary with
individual artists. Pastel can be blended or used with visible
strokes. The medium is favored by many artists because it allows a
spontaneous approach. There is no drying time and no allowance has
to be made for a change in color due to drying.
A particle of pastel pigment, suspended in gum tragacanth seen under
a microscope looks like a diamond with many facets. Therefore,
pastel paintings reflect light like a prism. No other medium has the
same power of color or stability. Pastel does not oxidize with the
passage of time.
Note: pastel must never be confused with colored chalk. chalk is a
limestone substance impregnated with dyes.

About
June
June Holm is a resident of Florida since 1984 and maintains her studio
at home; she was born and received her education in Illinois. Since
childhood June worked many forms of art. As she will tell you, “I was
always drawing, painting, or sculpting something.” about 30 years ago
June became serious about her talent and began her study under several
well known artists, to be able to expand her own style as a “romantic
realist”, a style of meticulous detail, creating impressionistic photo
realism.
June has tried all mediums but has chosen pastels over all others.
“They allow me a spontaneous approach.” no other process duplicates
its power of color or stability.
June has displayed her paintings in a variety of exhibitions and
juried shows, including Europe where she lived and studied for five
years. Commissioned portraits as well as singular pieces are to be
found in private collections all over the world. June is especially
proud of the “war against drugs” posters prepared for a national
campaign. She has illustrated a published children’s book written by
her sister.
