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.

The weather was sunny, but blustery and cool. What a great setting, overlooking Boca Ciega Bay! Not a great day for the beach in February but the crowds turned out in droves for a new, indoor art show on the Tampa Bay art show calendar.

Comments were heard to the effect that though the show was smaller than our summer Cool Art Show (34 booths with some artists sharing), the quality of the art and fine craft was very high and the venue was ideal.

Attendance for the weekend was about 2500 people; many artists reported good sales. There was plenty of parking and downtown Gulfport bustled with activity. People made a day of the 2Cool Art Show and shops and restaurants — all within easy walking distance of the Casino.

Many thanks to the city of Gulfport, the staff of the Casino and to all of our artists and hard-working volunteers.
