Biography
I'm a mom of three boys, wife, community advocate, artist and crafter. Establishing Holly's HeART by Hand has given me the creative outlet I need to balance all the hats I wear and remind me of who I am as an individual.

Artist Statement
The primary material of my cards and art is a beautiful treeless paper that boasts a sumptuous feel and uniquely organic look. This paper is produced in Sri Lanka and is made from 50% post-consumer recycled paper and 50% elephant dung! The production of this paper helps to protect wild elephants and provide Fair Trade jobs to Sri Lankan people. Holly's HeART by Hand LLC is a boutique business that hopes to bring high-quality, yet moderately priced cards and art to all clients. Holly's HeART by Hand is also committed to supporting local and global social outreach programs through donations of these products, services, and profits.
