Hi,

I’m Hollie

I’m a Visual Artist creating bespoke illustrations for clients by using playful shapes which can be designed to fit any scale or surface of your choice, from greeting cards to large-scale murals. 

I work on client briefs and also take bespoke artwork commissions for abstract paintings. For all illustrations and paintings I work to your chosen colour palette, or I’m happy to make suggestions - just let me know what works for you!

I also facilitate a variety of creative workshops for different audiences, ideal for private events, festivals, and schools.

JIVE’S STORY

I studied at Leeds Arts University, specialising in concept development, styling, and fashion imagery. In 2016, I co-founded Jive with Aimee Parker, transforming hand-cut paper shapes into bold, screen-printed designs for t-shirts and wall art. Our collaboration took us to New Zealand (2017–2019), where we worked on art and design projects before returning to Manchester to continue growing Jive.

We expanded into greeting cards and calendars, which are now available on Etsy and stocked in both independent shops and high-street retailers including Oliver Bonas. 

Since 2023 I have been working on Jive as a solo venture which now focuses on illustration, murals and engaging creative workshops.
