About HOLLY THOMPSON
the
Artist &
the Holly Thompson is best known for creating a broad range of
intricate pieces of work that sometimes lean toward the “bizarre”
(she believes that everything can be improved with a snake,
Work spider or cockroach).
Her work is described as unique and complicated, whether it be
jewelry, sculpting, painting, quilting or other mediums. Art has
always held an important position in Holly’s life – keeping her
centered and sane (relatively-speaking).
In her most recent body of work, accomplished while a member
of the Enso Circle, Holly has fully embraced encaustic collage.
Her goal was to create a series of pieces (in coordinating pairs)
that were colorful, vibrant, and of course, a bit bizarre.
