Biography

Over past few years Holly’s art practice has focused on developing large-scale public artworks. Holly was commissioned by the City of Swan to produce an entry artwork into the Altone Public Library. She has also been commissioned by Greenskills to produce a large-scale kiln formed glass sphere, for a community use facility in Denmark, Western Australia. Holly also develops more experimental public artwork pieces for exhibitions like Cottesloe Sculpture by the Sea. The sculptural work Holly produces are made in a range of different materials from steel, glass to plastic. Holly is inspired by using a range of different materials and doesn’t limit herself to one medium. Holly has spent extended periods of time living in Samoa, in the pacific and in The Netherlands. These international experiences have inspired many of her works.
