Holly is a fine artist living and working in Rhode Island.

I think that nature provides us with a constant reminder to slow down in a modern world teeming with distractions. Luckily my imagination always looked outside for inspiration.

In my youngest years, I made friends with bugs, frogs, crabs, snails, slugs… Their personalities, design, and beauty still provide endless curiosity. The more I draw and paint the creatures of nature, the more of themselves they reveal to me, and the more I am able to see. I share these wonders with you in my art. Read more about me and the story of Holly Wach Art on my About Page.
