Hi, I’m Holly.

I am an artist and illustrator originally from Birmingham, UK but now living in South Wales. I graduated from University of Worcester in 2019 and have since had the pleasure of working with a range of clients, both private and commercial.

I am drawn to the challenge of telling stories through pictures, and I’m especially interested in evoking atmosphere in my work. I love a touch of the mystical or mysterious, and you’ll often find me diving into mythology or folklore books in my spare time.

In May 2019, I was awarded the Otter-Barry Books Narrative Illustration Prize for my degree show work and I then went on to work with the BBC during the summer of 2019, providing one of 16 illustrations used in the advertising campaign for season 5 of ‘Peaky Blinders’. A Chinese translation of Anna Sewell’s classic ‘Black Beauty’ featuring my illustrations is due to be published in Spring 2024 by Great Star Media.

For commissions or project enquiries, I can be contacted via email at hollyreynoldsart@gmail.com. You can also keep up to date with my work via my instagram here.
