Skye Holland
Skye Holland’s studio is located in Chestnut Yard Studios, Wiltshire.
Skye Holland is a Londoner now Wiltshire-based contemporary artist. She uses mixed-media to create drawings, paintings, panel-works and prints. Her artwork is a commentary on the ever shifting interaction with the natural and wild and the equilibrium on which we all co-exist and depend. Skye trained as a Fine Art printmaker at Central St. Martin’s school of Art and was also creatively influenced growing up by her mother, a dressmaker, designer and entrepreneur. There’s a graphic edge to her artwork, as well as an interest in manipulating surface, often working in layers on thick watercolour paper e-sumi style. She also employs collage and layering techniques using Japanese papers. Her work moves between highly technical portrait drawing to a more emotive, expressionistic and dynamic approach in her paintings. She often works in series, most recent is the Fragile Earth, Icarus and Wild collections of paintings and prints.
