Welcome To My World!
Holly is an award-winning photographer and author from New York. As a young child, Holly had an infatuation with photography, mostly because she grew up in a home surrounded by images of her grandfather's work, who was a professional photographer for the New York World-Telegram & Sun. His love for photography inspired Holly to follow her passion to be a photographer. (Click HERE to see Roger's art.)
Over many years Holly captured every type of subject with her camera, but it wasn't until 2016 that her collection "Abandoned Beauties" was born. Two years prior, she brought her camera with her into an abandoned psychiatric hospital. As she crawled into a dark, narrow hole in the ground, and entered a basement full of cobwebs, debris, falling plaster, and rotted wood, something wonderful transpired within her. She found her true calling in the photography world, and that was to showcase the beauty that resides within the world of the left-behind.
Since 2017, Holly has been exhibiting her "Abandoned Beauties" collection all over the New York tri-state area. Her biggest achievement was receiving an award for her image "The Wait" by the Heckscher Museum of Art.
Last year, Holly published her book, "Exploring Home", an autobiographical photo book that features one hundred images of her work paired with one hundred short stories about her life.
