About the Author
Holly was brought up in beautiful Dumfries & Galloway in Scotland where living on a farm nurtured a fascination and love of animals, which continues to feed her work as an artist and illustrator today. Holly's first children's book, Silly Jack, was inspired by the real animals that lived on the farm: Jack was a Shetland pony that used to come into the kitchen!Since graduating from the Edinburgh College of Art, Holly has travelled to places such as Africa, Galapagos and the Amazon, returned to the beautiful Scottish borders for a time, and now owns a Dalmatian dog, Marbles. With Marbles, a love of all things spotty began, and Marbles has been a constant companion, source of inspiration and distraction ever since. Holly now lives and works in Edinburgh with her husband Craig, Holly's 'greatest creation' their young daughter Honey, and - of course - Marbles!Holly is constantly drawing and painting and exhibits her work regularly in galleries across the country. Of picture books, Holly says: "I love how you can develop a character and take them on a journey along with the reader through the pages of a book - the possibilities are endless!"
