Day one...2nd February 2012

 HOLLY ENGLISH'S ART BLOG  

This is me on a recent trip to Australia vising my daughter.

This blog is about my art with bits of an interesting life intermixed.  I have lived all over the world and my art reflects this.  I started out in the early 80's painting the cities I've seen or lived in.  I was living in Sydney at the time.  In fact, I married, had my daughter, started a business - plus did my art,  all in Australia....living there for some  32 years.

My daughter still lives there and is married to a wonderful man...they only love to cruise.  I moved back to Reno, in 1995, being that all my family (4 siblings) had never left, so I fit right in again.  It is wonderful for me to be able to have each and every day to do my art.  It wasn't easy to arrange my life this way, but it was worth all the effort.  I now live inn a building that has nothing but artists living in it.  It is wonderful to have all these creative people around me full time, all doing exactly what they are interested in developing -  art, music, dance, writing, sculpture...etc.  Very few people in this world get to follow their dreams, and I am so blessed to be among them.

As this blog continues I will be showing my works, telling tales and generally writing about it.
