I am a fine artist, living and creating in Providence, Rhode Island studio. I’ve dedicated my life to developing my craft and observing first-hand the creatures of nature that inspire me. My original watercolors, pastels, drawings, prints, and cards celebrate that we are kindred spirits with the creatures of nature. I hope my work helps you slow down in a world teeming with distractions, so you can have your own dialogue with nature.

Holly’s artistic journey ignited at age eight, enveloped by her mother's artistic pursuits, which filled their home with supplies and classes. This early exposure to the world of art sparked a deep passion within her, driving her quest to explore the profound connections between herself, her subjects, and the language of art.

Immersed in the classics, Holly pursued traditional studies at prestigious New York art institutions, earning an MFA from the New York Academy of Art and additional training at the Art Students League and the New York Studio School. Delving into the archives of The Metropolitan Museum of Art enriched her artistic and historical perspectives as she copied master drawings from esteemed collections.

Traversing landscapes across four continents, Holly's art is profoundly influenced by her travels, celebrating the intertwined essence of humanity and nature. Her visual dialogues, particularly centered around birds, embody human-like traits of emotion and intelligence, expressed through vibrant personalities and relationships.
