Leesburg, VA (February 27, 2024) – The Leesburg Commission on Public Art (COPA) is pleased to announce a new art display currently available for viewing on the first floor of Leesburg Town Hall (25 West Market Street).

Patricia Taylor Holz has 34 paintings on display. Each piece of artwork depicts landscapes, wine, sea life, and selfie wings, one of her signature pieces.

Holz will host an open house on Friday, March 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. and the public is encouraged to attend. Prints, coloring books, and wearable art will be available for purchase during the event. The exhibit will run through May 2024.

The first-floor lobby and hallway of the Leesburg Town Hall features rotating exhibits by Leesburg and Loudoun artists. Those interested in having their work considered for a future exhibit should contact Leah Kosin, staff liaison to the Commission on Public Art, at lkosin@leesburgva.gov.

Patricia Taylor Holz was born on the Caribbean coast of Panama in 1969. A life-long artist, she received a B.A. in Studio Art and a minor in Theatre from Florida State University along with an MFA in Set/Costume Design from University of Michigan. Holz taught art at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts Museum, various community centers, private/public schools, and at Temple University. On a more local level, the multi-media freelance artist, designer, photographer, and Benjamin Moore home color consultant is known mostly for her murals, faux finishes, gilding, and selfie wings. She painted the 1823 Weiss Home mural & the Masters of Foxhounds Association’s ground-level mural with fellow artist Penny Hauffe, which were widely featured in the press.
