I’m Holly, a 25 year old self-taught bird artist based in Dublin, Ireland.

My passion for birds and birdwatching began when I was 10 when my grand-aunt gave me a guidebook on the birds of Ireland. In my early teens I started drawing birds, and my interest in both art and nature has continued to grow ever since.

In 2021 I started my small business selling original drawings, prints, greeting cards, and other products featuring my art through my Etsy shop.

I try to capture the unique characteristics of each bird species I draw. I hope my art highlights their beauty and encourages others to notice and appreciate the wildlife around them.

Being autistic, I sometimes find social situations a bit challenging. However, birdwatching and sharing my art have been wonderful ways to connect with others who share my passion for birds and nature.
