Hollie studied Fine Art (Painting) at RMIT University in Naarm (Melbourne), graduating with Honours in 2009. Her formal training laid a strong foundation in traditional techniques, which she now weaves into a style that is both contemporary and quietly nostalgic.
Hollie returned to her regional roots in 2019, settling in the vibrant township of Yackandandah. Nestled among the breathtaking landscapes of the high country, she finds endless inspiration in the local flora, fauna, and shifting colour of the seasons.
Her work has been described as delicate and evocative—blending fine detail with a reverence for nature and a timeless, storytelling charm.
