About the Artist


 

  Hello! I am Holly Martin, a veterinary technician with a passion for art.
I capture the unique spirit of our beloved animals through my drawings and paintings.

My journey as an artist is linked with my career as veterinary surgical technician. I have had the privilege of being side by side with animals for over 20 years. Doing this I have met many pets, clients, and also created art for everyone including the hospital that I work for. 

I am a native of North Carolina. I am proud of my roots and my southern charm! I now share my life with my wonderful Minnesotan husband and our two amazing kids.  We have 3 dogs and a cat and I believe they are all feral.  I am a stay at home mom, veterinary technician, and artist. Painting is how I am able to spend time with my kids and I am pursuing it now more than ever.

Before diving into the world of veterinary care, I served as a Hospital Corpsman in the U.S. Navy. I was stationed in Illinois, Virginia, and Italy. It was a great experience. Once my service was complete and I went back home, I took my surgical knowledge and applied it in a veterinary setting. I am real compassionate in both my medical skills and my art. A perfectionist at times too. My goal is to create memorable pieces of art that can be cherished forever. 

If you are interested in having a special piece of art of your own featuring your beloved pet, I would love to hear from you! Just send me a great photo—via either email or text— and let me know what size you would like. I frame all my work unless otherwise instructed. I also offer shipping.

My art reflects my love for animals and my desire to honor their beauty and character.
Thank you for visiting my site—I cannot wait to share my passion with you!
