Heather Holmes

After graduating from Nottingham Trent University with BA hons in Textile Design Heather specialised in textile designs for fashion and interiors.

She has had a successful career that has given her the opportunity to live and work in London, Hong Kong and New York almost always producing and selling textile designs with a strong floral element.

Flowers can flood a home with colour – the vibrancy, the energy and movement is a source of joy even in the bleakest of seasons.

Heather’s art strives to capture this timeless beauty that flowers have, from the strength of their colours to the fragility of their structure.

Some of her oil paintings use many layers of paint to explore the subtle tones and luminosity as light plays through the delicate intracacy of petals. Others reveal the abstract structure and texture of flowers using palette knife and impasto paint techniques.
