This new body of work signifies a closer examination of Holly’s interior life and all the ebbs and flows of energy that life brings. Emotions and sensations have become the subject which are subtle and transitory.

“When I look at this work, I feel different types of energy; some surge immediately to the surface while others are slower and reveal themselves softly. I have always understood the world through my emotional and physical sensations which is why I paint in this expressionist way. There have always been moments of abstraction in my work but now I feel compelled to bring my subjective response to the forefront. I am trying to harness the paint in a way that is a direct transfer of my energy. Painting for me is really painting when I am fully present and making decisions that are looking beyond what I think is possible.”
