Holly is a printmaker, artist and graphic designer. She’s been all over the map as a designer and illustrator: from storyboarding Caddyshack and other movies starting at the age of 18, to working as a magazine art director, freelance advertising & editorial illustrator, television senior designer for broadcast and as a 3D animator.
She left television over ten years ago and after teaching design & drawing for a few years at the local university & trade school, she’s now concentrating on relief block printing and copper plate etching in her home studio.
An avid sailor, some of her print work reflects her love for boating and Florida’s coastal water and birds. Her art blog is The Aerie at http://hollybirdaerie.blogspot.com/. More of her work can be seen at http://www.studioibis.com/ and http://www.hollybird.net/. She lives with her husband and parents and two adopted shelter dogs on their sprawling, weedy, bird-y acre in Palm Harbor, FL.
