A 'big canvas' painter, Gauvin has developed a montage technique to capture the vast scope of Australia's outback and to add the dimension of time to the stories in her pictures. Her research is as meticulous as the wealth of detail she lavishes on her scenes of life on the cattle station or drover's track, in the bush pub or the crowded city. In 1984, the artist made a five-month study tour of the great galleries of Europe and was fired with the desire to show and to share all that being Australian means to her. The result was the start of her on-going Australia's Heritage series. An early group of the paintings was toured in Los Angeles and San Francisco the following year. 123 Gauvin paintings have been collected in four best-seller books. Her works hang in public and parliament galleries, private and corporate collections throughout Australia, and in Europe, Canada and the United States.

Creating in watercolor, pastel or graphite is a life long pursuit in addition to extensive undergraduate and graduate studies in other area and a full year of study solely in Art Studio. Graphic designs for local events and illustration projects have been another satisfying artistic outlet. I enjoy the challenge of commissions as well as the joy of creating art for myself. Hollis has a way of breathing life into the paintings whether it be a portrait of a person or a pet, a still life or a landscape.
