ABOUT HOLLY EMERSON ART

Hey, I'm Holly!

I am a wildlife and portrait artist inspired by the places, people and wildlife around me. My aim is to create artwork with a meaning. Artwork that draws the viewer in and invites them to learn about and understand the subject behind the frame. 

​

My earliest memories of drawing are with my Grandma and Mum (both of which are gorgeous artists and creatives themselves). Since then I have always found the time to create, in whatever form I could manage. At school, all of my free periods were spent with my eyes glued to a canvas or sketchbook. My blazer always had acrylic paint stains on the cuffs... much to my mums displeasure!

​

Still to this day I am exploring, experimenting and refining my artistic style. 

I have worked with a variety of mediums and continue to experiment with and adapt my artistic style. Therefore you will find graphite drawings, coloured pencil artworks as well as acrylic and pastel works all mixed into my diverse portfolio of work. 

​

My most recent collection is inspired by my time living in the Lolldaiga Hills of Kenya as an Artist in Residence. I am passionate about telling the stories behind the magical places, people and animals I experienced here and invite you to meet them yourself, through my artwork.
