We often equate artists with one distinct style. But John Holladay, originally from the Midwest and for many years now a resident of Vineyard Haven, paints and illustrates with so much versatility, he’s impossible to pigeon- hole.

And yet one of his hugely successful, largely unknown artistic endeavors is now being celebrated at the Louisa Gould Gallery on Main street, Vineyard Haven. From 1980 to 2000 he was licensed to paint the official artwork for NBA, NFL and college sports teams, work that later appeared on posters, shirts and jigsaw puzzles.

The Louisa Gould Gallery’s new exhibition, Summer Palette, a collection of mosaics, photography, paintings and new media, opens with a reception on Saturday, July 24, from 5 to 7 p.m. with refreshments and live music. The artists include Jenifer Strachan, Jeanne Campbell, Joan Kennedy, Frauke Klatt and JB Lamont.

Jenifer Strachan, new to the gallery, uses rare and antique pieces to create her works, such as a 50-foot broken-plate mosaic, which can be seen at Spoleto restaurant in Northampton.
