Holly Wheatcroft’s ceramic collages layer disperse visual and literary sources within a contemporary ceramic lens. Shapes, glazes and textures are layered in a shallow picture plane where objects seem to either float in space or spill out of their frames. Through abstraction and exploration, Holly’s practice focuses on the painterly and textural glazes so often highlighted in the contemporary ceramics of today.

Holly is proud to have been a participating artist for the Casey House Art with Heart 2024. She has participated in numerous exhibitions, both solo and group including Nuit Blanche, Peak Gallery, John B. Aird Gallery, IDS, Propeller Gallery, and TOAE. Holly was a member of the Toronto Public Art Commission (TPAC), a mentor with the SCCC Entrepreneurship Hub, was the recipient of an OCADU excellence in teaching award, and continues to be an active member of various communities as an arts educator. In addition to her studio practice, Holly is the owner of a local arts school for children ages 5-12 called The Art Room, a vibrant part of the Junction / High Park communities for over a decade.
