Holly Clarke
Holly Clarke is an abstract expressionist eco-painter based in Aotearoa. Using sustainably sourced, non-toxic earth pigments, she creates dreamlike, textured mindscapes that explore the energy and emotion of the human experience through the lens of nature. Holly’s work invites viewers to reconnect—with themselves, the land, and a deeper intuitive knowing. Part of her childhood was spent on a rural farm near Matakana, where a tactile connection with the earth began. A former textile designer with over 30 years in design, she was a 2024 finalist in both the Kumeu Art Awards and the Emerging Artist Award at The Upstairs Gallery.
