Carolyn Reese Holland

The Artist

I was born and raised on a farm in
South Hill, Virginia. Drawing and painting were a childhood passion that was rediscovered later in life.

I received my degree in Radiology in 1963, which lead to a Certification in Mammography and a certificate in Business.

In 1963, I moved to Orlando, Florida where I married and had a daughter. During that time I worked for Holiday Hospial as a Radiographer. In 1965 I was promoted to Chief Technologist followed by another promotion to Administrative Director of Imaging Services in 1970. In 1984 I accepted the position of Administrative Director of Imaging Services for Columbia Park Medical Center where I remained until my retirment in 2000.

During my carer the State of Florida taped me as an Instructor in Continued Education for Nursing, Imaging Services and CPR. I also taught Risk Management and Motivational Ethics for Valencia Community College in Orlando, Florida.

Never losing my passion for art and creativity, I became an avid hiker and landscape photographer.

I once again embraced my passion for oil painting upon my retirement in December 2000.
