Holly Tilley

Tilley was born in Ft Worth, Texas, but has lived and worked in Arkansas most of her life. She loves being outdoors, and this is reflected in her love of painting Arkansas landscapes, as well as in the places she’s been and the memories from her upbringing.

"I love studying with others - you can continue to learn every day -- the power of observation, studying, and slowly incorporating things you learn into your own style is one of my favorite things about being an artist." Tilley will lead an art excursion of American artists to France in 2024.

After a long career in marketing and advertising, she is pursuing her artistic passion. Tilley is a managing partner in the Art Group Gallery. Tilley is also a member of the Arkansas Art Center and the Arkansas League of Artists. She is a member of Artist Inc. 2018 class. She teaches art lessons and loves to get others excited about painting. Tilley plans trips abroad to study painting. Holly is married to Jim Tilley, and they have two children, Christian and Hannah.

“The world inspires me to paint it - it’s so fun to do what you love."
