ABOUT HOLLY
Artist / Creative
Who am I?
I’m the teenager who at 18 spent 6 months working two jobs, then 4 months backpacking around Nepal and India.
I’m the woman who at 20 went to Malawi to build a new school building.
I’m the woman who at 21 decided to set up her own development charity which continues to support developing communities and give volunteers invaluable life experience.
I’m the woman who at 23 bought a single ticket to Madrid to go job hunting in a country I had never been to before, where I didn’t speak one word of the language and where I knew nobody.
I’m the woman who at 24 met her husband in a monastery.
I’m the woman who at 29 wrote a business plan for her grandad and convinced him to lend her the deposit for her first flat.
I’m the woman who walked the streets of Madrid with her portfolio until she found a gallery to exhibit her work in a solo exhibition.
I’m the woman who thought she wouldn’t be able to have children, but then ended up with two sons.
I’m the woman who designed a paper art book working one hour every day while my baby had a siesta.
I’m the woman who is going to get her book published and work full time as an artist in the near future.
