Biography
Holly is a multimedia artist and writer, living in the stunning landscapes of the North Downs in England. Her work is deeply inspired by her surroundings, and the history and lore of her Welsh roots. She worked as a copywriter for five years before turning towards writing stories, as well as slowly documenting her field of vision through zine making and her Substack blog. In 2025 she began taking a regular ceramics class, and felt deeply inspired to continue working across multiple dimensions, and now incorporates her many disciplines into a collage-like practice of pottery, photography, painting and writing. Ever evolving, she explores themes that feel resonant and relevant, using artistic tools as necessary to bring visions to life.
Alongside her creative projects, Holly supports other writers with a range of professional editing, proofreading and typesetting services, to get their stories ready to publish. Whether traditional or self-publishing, Holly works with sensitivity and a sharp, editors eye to bring written work to it’s highest standard.
