Holly is a California Central Coast artist, where she lives with her husband and their two young boys. She feels grateful for the ways painting and mothering fuel one another.

After graduating from Chico State with a BA in communications, Holly worked as a graphic designer for six years. But new adventures were calling, and she was given the chance to teach conversational English to college students in Tibet. What a wild and beautiful ride that was, full of ups and downs.

One day, in her tiny teacher’s apartment, Holly grabbed some scrap paper, acrylic paint, and magazine clippings, then went to work. An afternoon spent creating was the perfect soul therapy in the midst of a challenging time. So began Holly's love for mixed media painting.

These days, Holly cherishes her time in the studio, spent both painting and writing. Her first book is in the works, as she continues to dream big. Some things Holly will never stop believing: life has meaning, each person is significant, and the One who made all things is beautiful beyond comprehension.
