Holliday Thompson

I have been an artist all of my life, always drawing and creating as a child. As an adult I've worked as a graphic designer and illustrator, owned a coffee house, a gallery, an art studio and taught a lot of classes to people who thought they could never create a piece of art.

I still work as an illustrator creating art for books, cards, and calendars in colored pencil, gouache, acrylic and pen and ink.

For the past 20 years I've had a passion for the three dimensional art of Sculptural Papier Mache. Working with "mash" or "pulp" made from recycled paper and additives, I make masks, vessels, wall hangings and sculptures. Embellished with found objects, sticks, or wire, then painted, this object, originally destined to be trash, becomes a beautiful piece of art.

All that's old is new again!
