Shadow Stories

Move in front

of your own shadow

and leave your past stories

that throttle your growth

behind.

-Holli May Thomas

light on the death bloom

My pieces are created by hand one by one, and I take immense pride in what I create and all the many curated parts to create a meaningful piece with good energy for yourself or a friend in case you are giving this away as a gift. All papers are hand painted by me and everything is cut or torn using my hands or an Exacto knife in my backyard art studio. Hanging hardware has already been added and this one-of-a-kind creation is ready to hang on your wall.

Please note that colors vary on different monitors. 

I am always open to paying for pieces through layaway.  Use the "contact the artist" page here on my website for details!

Gravity

Darkness may desire to

weigh you down,

but expectant twilight

wants to elevate your quest.

Allow gravity to do its work

from north, south, east, and west.

-Holli May Thomas

I created this piece with an expectant circling seagull on the foreground against a black heart background to represent the darkness you want to escape.  I am enjoying creating these little shadowbox assemblage pieces and writing the descriptions for them.  You can find her under "available works" on my website.

Fire and Light

Fire and wonder.

Riding the light.

Burning a brilliant path forward

for a rebirth - a revival

so, I may continue fighting

the good fight.

At this time in 2023 I was setting up my work for my first solo art gallery show at Unity of Houston and was asked to stand before a huge congregation to explain my work. I had the jitters before walking out on stage because I had spoken to large groups of people, but not HUNDREDS of people. I thought I was going to be sick.
