about Holly
Welcome, Friends!
Howdy! I am Holly - a multi-passionate creative and professional who’s spent years blending the practical with the mystical.
As a Psychotherapist, I’ve helped countless clients navigate life’s challenges. As a published author, tarot deck designer, and entrepreneur, I’ve built businesses that empower others to embrace their potential.
I'm a bit all over the place but I believe that is one of my greatest strengths.
Like a Fairy Godmother, I like to make things pretty and sparkly.
I have rebirthed myself many times. I like this version of me today the very best (it took a while).
I can hear the voice of my heart loudly above the other voices now. If you were looking for sparkles and glimmers, you came to the right place.
PS: I still believe in magic. Do you?
Okay, But Why So Many Different Things?
Because I love words and communication, like every person with a rising in Gemini does.
And I am driven by the entrepreneurial spirit of a sun in Capricorn, fated to climb mountains.
And my moon in Libra compels me to make things beautiful, like an artist with a strong aesthetic for beauty.
My passion is all of these things.
It's kinda my destiny.
Just a Girl with Lots of Passion and Drive
My childhood memories always involved the same themes: making art, daydreaming invisible things, playing the enchanting piano, wandering,and a deep friendship with the animals around me.
These loves have never left me.
One day while navigating a health crisis, I had an epiphany. Childhood dreams of being an artist had grown stagnant from years of my own self-neglect.
I loved my career as a Licensed Psychotherapist, but I also knew the creative parts of me felt abandoned. Adulthood tells you to pursue other things, and that accumulating things will bring happiness, but it is not true.
There is more to life than being who the world told you to be, rather than being who you actually are.
I knew I had to reclaim the lost artistic parts of myself to be whole and complete, so I set out on a quest to find the missing parts of me.
Two decades ago I sold paintings under the business name Moonfeather Creations. My modern day art business is a return to that, resurrected with a twist: The Feather on the Moon
Did you know that there is literally a falcon feather on the moon? NASA left it there next to a hammer after conducting an experiment.
It is pretty damn nifty that there are things in the world that others do not see, and yet they exist nonetheless (you know, kinda like the talents we hide away until later).
There are parts of ourselves that sometimes we don't show, until we choose to reveal them. I am so glad you found me here x
Birthing is Creating
Art is more than painting and drawing. Art is creating something that did not exist in the world until you brought it to life.
When you birth a dream, you alter the universe. My heart is my creations, whether it's a business or an acrylic painting. All my creations are a labour of love.
Don't limit yourself by assuming art is painting and drawing. Every step you take can be an expression of art - from cooking a meal to how you dress your body to express who you are. We ARE art.
