Holly Friesen creates visions from within the landscape in paint and wool. Based in Tiohtià:ke / Montréal, near the Canadian Shield and Boreal Forest, her work reflects a deep reverence for the Earth and invites a shift from harm toward a more reciprocal, life-enhancing way of living. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Adirondack Experience and currently on view in the Artistas e inspiración en la naturaleza exhibition.

Holly will also be demonstrating and selling her works at ADKX on July 24 & 25.
