The Artist
Holly Lian is a painter based in Burlington, Vermont, where she's lived her whole life. She works in watercolor and acrylic, drawn to the natural world: wildlife, botanicals, and the landscapes around her.
Outside of painting, Holly works with young adults with disabilities. She loves the work, and often gets to do art together with them, something that means a lot to her.
Her biggest inspiration is her grandmother Helga, a painter who moved from Germany to New York City and later settled in the Finger Lakes. Helga has painted everywhere she's lived, and growing up watching her changed how Holly sees the world. Art has always been something they share.
Holly paints the birds, botanicals, and landscapes just outside her door, the things that are easy to walk past without stopping. She hopes whoever takes home a piece finds a reason to look a little longer.
