Holly Edwards
About the artist:
Holly Edwards is a self-taught visual artist from Lakefield, Ontario, who explores painting, printmaking, book-arts and collage. She has completed two artist residencies: Luminous Bodies at Artscape Gibraltar Point and a self-directed artist residency at Bareneed Studios in Newfoundland.
Holly has been exploring mixed media collage since the pandemic. She repurposes paper pieces with mixed media such as paint, pastel, ink and Japanese papers. She often incorporates printmaking techniques such as suminagashi, mono-type and lino prints.
Her collages have been featured in print publications including the Paris Collage Collective 2020 annual selection, the Surrealist Dreams 2021 (Paris Collage Collective), and the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. In 2020, one of Holly’s collage portraits was selected from a group show at Gallery 1313 in Toronto to be featured in the Toronto Star (Drawing a Community Together.) Her daily collage process was also explored in an interview with Unseen Sketchbooks in the UK in 2020.
Her work has been exhibited at the Art Gallery of Peterborough, Art Gallery of Bancroft, Station Gallery, Clarington Art Centre, Northumberland Gallery, John. B Aird Gallery, Gallery 1313, Propellor Art Gallery, and the Agnes Jamieson Gallery in a number of group and solo exhibitions.
