Holly was brought up in beautiful Dumfries & Galloway, where living on a farm nurtured a fascination with and love of animals, which continues to feed her work as an artist and illustrator today. Since graduating from Edinburgh School of Art in 2003, Holly has worked as an artist and illustrator, and has been published by Walker Books, HarperCollins Children's Books, and Nosy Crow. Holly lives in Oxfordshire with her husband, three young children, Marbles the dog, six beautiful bantams and one very noisy cockerel called Mr Sprinkles.
