Holly Wheatcroft’s ceramic collages offer a playful take on the still life genre where objects are anything but “still” as they break away and spill out of their frames. Glazed stoneware slabs and shapes are layered with art historical references and a focus on pattern and texture. The artist’s use of clay is a deliberate and contemporary choice to highlight pottery’s role throughout the ages as an enduring storytelling medium. 

Holly was proud to be 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 within various communities as an arts educator.
