About Holly Whitcomb

I'm Holly, an artist and graphic designer from Omaha, Nebraska. I am inspired by the forms of nature and love painting abstract takes on botanicals and landscapes. I love bold color and brushwork, and often incorporate my paintings into my stationery designs.

Crazy small world! I'm new to Minted. Happy to accept any advice from a pro if you have it! I'd love to do more of this and am hoping it's worth the time investment at the moment. I'm LOVING this type of work and would like to do more of it. Have you been successful at making any income this way? Comparable to the time invested? Find me on FB if you'd like.
