Jacalyn and Ryan Holman started
their business Holman Arts in January 2006. Although their business is new, they are not new to the business! Ryan has worked
as a Caricature Artist and has managed art concessions at various theme parks and zoos for over 14 years. He began drawing
caricatures as a summer job while he attended Bowling Green State University earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree.
Jacalyn graduated from Kent State University with a Bachelors Degree in Art and Art Education. While teaching art to elementary students Jacalyn
began working as a Portrait Artist at a local theme park during her summer break. She then left teaching to also manage art concessions
and trained other artists in portraits, silhouettes, face painting, hair wrapping, henna tattoos and anything else
needed.
The couple left their theme park jobs after the 2004 season ended and
began using their talents to entertain at parties and events. They now run their own art concessions along with entertaining
for parties and events. You can visit their Name Jewelry and Caricature/Portrait kiosks at the Kalahari Resort-Sandusky, Ohio.
