Honor America's 250th Through Veteran Art

I have had an abundance of free time due to medical issues, I have turned to my artistic side to help my mental health. I like going thrifting for old paintings and re-imagine them my way. I also have been making acrylic paintings and cyanotype prints on fabric. I am starting a drawing class soon.

I’m an Air Force veteran. I love making things with all types of materials. I love to travel and visit famous peoples homes.

Hello my name is Michelle Hollerbach. I am a Navy veteran, serving from 1992-1997, stationed at Naval Air Station Key West, Florida (I know, throw me in that briar patch, but hey, this is before women could be stationed on the boat!).

I am a veteran in recovery who also has PTSD. I got sober in 2017 and started teaching myself to paint, taking a few watercolor classes at the local senior center. I lost that sobriety in 2019 and it has been an uphill battle since then. One thing the Navy taught me was to keep fighting and never give up, and I never will. Art is my lifesaver. My art has evolved over the years to settle on mixed media in a surrealism/abstract format, finally settling on my own style. My inspirations include Schiele, Bacon, Dali, Basquiat, Picasso, Van Gogh, and local favorites Rossignol and Weiers.

I will have prints for sale soon and will mark those artworks when available. I also do commissions! HollerbachMixedMediaArt@gmail.com

Born in Louisiana with one foot in urban city life while the other foot was in the swamps. Scotty Ramsey apprenticed to be a tattoo artist in 2000 but after the events of 9/11 he had an urge to serve his country in a combat role in the Army. He became a tanker, 19k, and was a part of the expeditionary force in Operation Iraqi Freedom. In 2008 Scotty exited the Army with an honorable discharge as a sergeant. Tattooing and art in general was always his passion so he went right back to being a tattoo artist full time. After settling in Arlington Texas he decided to go to art school at the Art Institute of Dallas and studied fine art, animation, digital art, and graphic design. Nowadays he enjoys his time with his family on their small homestead in rural north Texas while tattooing in south Oklahoma. Scotty has illustrated labels for products shipped around the world, featured in tattoo magazines and published work in two books - “Tattoos of War vol 3” and “Your Call is Important to Us”.
