Holli's artistic talent and creativity has been evident from a very early age. Although she excelled in many areas of school, art projects were always her favorite. In third grade, Holli's art teacher presented her with a big green pencil case (which she still has today) for having the best drawing in class.
Holli has a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design & Advertising that has allowed her the knowledge and experience of working with art directors, designers, copywriters and other creative types to collaborate on projects. She lives and works in Nashville, TN, where her husband, Chad, their daughter, Walker, and their goofy basset hound, Do-Wop, give her plenty of inspiration.
Holli captures her whimsical style in two techniques. She works digitally as well as dimensionally using clay and acrylic paints. Holli is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and is represented in the Children's Market by Maggie Byer-Sprinzeles.
Her clients have included: Adventure Magazine, Better Homes & Gardens, Brown Publishing, The Clever Factory, Cowley Robinson Publishing, LifeWay Christian Resources, MacMilliam, McGraw-Hill, Monotype and Silver Editions
