George Holman began his researches into creativity at an early age. Traveling with his parents to such exotic locales as Bolivia and Ghana, Holman had the opportunity to appreciate many different types of art, architecture, and design, and to experience the diverse aspects of culture that produce varied aesthetics. He continued to investigate these topics, completing both a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology (OSU, 1965) and a Bachelor of Architecture degree (OSU, 1969). Simultaneously, he served as Director of Design for the Department of City Planning in Stillwater, OK. Holman entered the doctoral program at the University of California, Berkeley, where he served as an associate instructor and also as a consultant to the San Francisco Port Commission, designing public access to the waterfront. Among his other Berkeley activities, Holman designed and manufactured the prototype for an innovative motor home, served as a consultant to the Institute for the Human Environment, Sausalito, CA, and continued his early interest in painting. He was awarded the Master of Architecture degree, and completed all coursework for the Ph.D. In 1974, Holman moved to Austin, TX, where he focused on producing a substantial body of paintings and fine prints, most now privately owned.

His works--which combine fascinating themes (such as fusion, evolution, and esoteric geometry) with exceptional technical skill--attracted the interest of collectors, and were used to illustrate the pathbreaking book Space, Time, and Medicine, by Larry Dossey, M.D. As a result of his distinctive approach to understanding and practicing creativity, Holman was invited to design and administer a new visual arts program for the University of Texas at Dallas. During his tenure there, he developed an unusual, influential curriculum that attracted a wide variety of students to the new program; added an award-winning arts building to the campus; and taught popular interdisciplinary courses such as "The Process of Creativity," "Creativity and Consciousness," and "Beyond Rational Man." In 1982, he left UTD to return to his roots in architecture, and spent the next few years working on private commissions and developing a new approach to the manufacture of affordable, beautiful housing. He continued to paint, however, and to share his education vision as a visiting instructor in interior design, sculpture, and computer graphics for the Dallas County Community College District.

In 1990, another unexpected opportunity drew him into a new field, when he was invited to join Museum Design Resources. There he began to expand his interest in technology and to apply his unique background to the development of interactive exhibitry. After designing the children’s wing and health exhibits for Fort Lauderdale’s new state-of-the-art Science Museum, Holman decided to focus on the application of good design to marketing environments, and as Director of Design for Exhibit Dynamics, Inc., developed a distinctive approach to the design of showrooms, marketing centers, and other high-visibility corporate spaces. Among his notable achievements in this area: the GTE Solutions Centers (including an 18,000 square foot facility at GTE headquarters and five smaller centers across the country) and the EDS Technology Pavilion (featuring prototypes of a government center, hotel, and marketplace designed for the high-tech future) In 1997, his exciting design for the 16,000 square foot Trilogy Selling Chain exhibit won a Silver Award from Exhibitor Magazine.

George Holman is now working independently on a variety of projects that combine spiritual, intellectual, and practical dimensions with new media such as computer art and spatial composition.
