Holly’s work is held privately throughout Australia.

“The appeal of any image is its story of light. That is, how light interacts with the subject to inform our sense of time and place. Whether I’m depicting harsh sunlight or the fading light of dusk, it’s this story of light – and the sentiment it evokes I’m most interested in.” Holly Dormor
