Testimonials
"Holly has been an amazing influence and help to me over the years that I’ve known her. She has a true passion for illustration and is a constant inspiration to any aspiring illustrator. Having her as a mentor has allowed me to refine my skills and style, which I have previously been unsure of. She always encourages and believes in me when in the times I don’t believe in myself. She actively encourages me to take up new (and sometimes daunting) opportunities that I would not have had the confidence to do before, which have always been amazing and incredibly helpful experiences. It is an honour to have Holly as a mentor, not only in my journey in the illustration world but also in life!"
