Holly Thomas

Holly Thomas is a painter based in Gisborne in the beautiful Tairawhiti region, New Zealand.

After living and creating in Wellington for many years, she has recently moved out East with her young family and paints from her rural home-based studio alongside partner and artist photographer, roOm.

Holly’s paintings are dynamic and unique. They range from quiet contemplative pieces to gestural works that live on the wild-side. She has an inquisitive mind when it comes to materials and loves to mix it up with pencil, paint, oil stick, charcoal, spray paint, and glazes. In this respect her work often defies regular definition - are they paintings, or drawings, or something else...

Whatever the case, what you will find when reviewing Holly’s work is a truly creative and contemporary artist that inspires and connects with many.

Holly exhibits throughout NZ and her work is held in private collections and interiors across the country.
