About the Artist

Born in Toronto, Canada, and currently based in Santa Barbara, California, self-taught artist Libby Holland conveys the joy and intimacy of local flora. Struck by the colour, resiliency and architecture of plants, she sees their varied contours as sculptures created by nature.

Exploring painting from a young age and continuing throughout her formal education, Holland’s move to Santa Barbara spurred the development of her personal artistic language: a bright and empowered celebration of the welcoming landscape that surrounds her. 

A contemporary artist with a vibrant, bold style, her larger-than-life paintings of flowers and native plants have drawn comparisons to famed artist Georgia O’Keeffe.
