Holly Simental

Through careful animal observation, artist Holly Simental realistically portrays the human-like character of animals through fun, comical art. Holly began drawing at 6 years old after discovering that she had natural talent. When Holly was just a little older, she began to volunteer at a Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care and gained an even greater love for wild animals. Holly also enjoyed her many pets and training her dogs. Through these experiences, and from observation, Holly realized how human-like animals really are. Holly’s art was further developed and encouraged by her NorthTahoe High School art teacher who organized a private showing for her at a local art gallery. Holly is a self taught artist now living in Reno, Nevada. She began her professional art career after being prompted by a coworker to open an Etsy store. In 2014 Holly opened her store Mama Kiki’s. She started selling a few cards and realized that people really liked her art. She then expanded to pen and ink and watercolor art prints. In 2016 Holly began to sell art on independent online art sales sites. When sales increased through these sites, Holly began to be contacted by online galleries as well. Holly’s talent is not limited to a single art medium. She often works with multiple mediums. She chooses a medium to fit the desired look she has envisioned for each work of art. Holly seeks to give joy and uplift the spirit of her art admirers by using her unique ability to realistically portray human expressions in animals. Each artwork is carefully planned to best reveal the animal subject’s character. Holly also seeks to incorporate experiences which both people and animals enjoy. There is a hidden message in each artwork which can be found by examining the carefully chosen bible verse found by Holly’s signature in each artwork. Holly has found great satisfaction in sharing her talents with others. She has endless ideas for new artwork. Holly Simental will be an artist to follow as her popularity is quickly growing worldwide because of her unique art style.
