Using many layers of acrylics and random textures, she creates surprise passages that draw viewers into the painting, allowing them to discover unexpected shapes and subjects hidden in plain sight. Color is her favorite element, resulting in joyful and uplifting pieces of art. Holly's prints are created with care, staying as true as possible to the original painting.
