Shop prints

Holly Wales (b. 1983) is a UK based illustrator. Her work explores a variety of subject matter and is predominantly drawing-based, pushing colour marker pens to their limits. She works with text and multiple layers of colour to deconstruct forms & build dynamic compositions. Holly’s work plays on chance and process to produce a body of work which remains in a constant state of flux, where the process behind one image becomes the beginning of the next, focussing on the performance of chaos in a controlled visual structure, and highlighting moments in time. Holly is always experimenting with new materials in order to create her unique hand-made illustrations for print, online & animation. She has also exhibited work internationally in a number of group shows & produced illustrations for hundreds of clients from The New York Times to Byron Hamburgers to The V&A.
