Hailing from the Midwest, Holly Burns has been making art for as long as she can remember. Currently, she's exploring the use of non-traditional materials in her work by drawing and painting on napkins, envelopes, and other scrap materials. Using a black ink pen and sometimes incorporating acrylic paint, Holly illustrates the human interactions of every day life that she is lucky enough to notice. She believes that these small but universal moments can be overshadowed by today's fast-paced world and she hopes that through her drawings she can help people to appreciate them more. Holly's work can be described as whimsical and reflective. She is inspired by Marlene Dumas, Roald Dahl, Gerhardt Richter, art students, her friends, and her mom.
