Holly Sierra's illustrations speak of that which is visually enchanting with particular attention to decorative, mystical, historical and multicultural themes. Aside from a penchant for detail, the defining aspect of her work is her ability to combine her brand of realism with folk art and decorative fantasy elements. Were you to
wander inside, you'd find Holly's studio full of tributes to her interests ~ The Green Man, A Myriad of Gorgeous Goddesses, Indian Tapestries, Sun Faces, Icons, Ancient Runes, Mosaics, African and Asian masks, A Medicine Wheel, Southwestern Artifacts, Celtic Castings, Incense Ablaze and hundreds of BOOKS! (Books on everything from the ancient world to elaborate herb gardens) As well, one might hear the melancholy strains of an old Irish Love song or Loreena McKennitt's music playing softly in the background.
Holly Sierra now makes her home in colorful Sedona, Arizona and finds the area very inspirational to her new work. Starts with scenery that makes your heart leap...Sedona is nestled amidst a geological wonderland. Multi-hued stone formations rise upwards from the high desert floor creating a vivid, mesmerizing setting that changes hourly with the light.
Regarded by Native Americans as sacred, Sedona continues to be recognized as a place of healing and spiritual renewal. Many come to experience the vortex energy centers, others to explore the art galleries and healing centers. Holly is often found hiking or four wheeling amongst the Red Rocks, if she is not busy attending a gallery opening or supplying a local shop with Chrysalis Tarot Decks, Greeting Cards or Canvas Prints! Holly's daughters, Gabi and Esme, as well as Pearl, a beautiful grey cat, helps keep her company.
