Siobhan Holden​

My name is Siobhan (pronounced Shavon) Holden. I’m in my 20s and moved to Florence in 2021 after completing my AA degree in my hometown of Santa Barbara, CA. 

 

My main focus is ceramics, with an emphasis on bright colors. I throw, sculpt, and use my drawing experience to paint my pieces. I have also developed my own food safe, lead free glazes - so I’m an artist and a chemist! Since moving here I’ve fallen in love with the temperate rainforest, especially mushrooms, and have been taking inspiration from the natural beauty around me for my work.

 

I also enjoy working with metal, wire, paints, and most other materials I can get my hands on. My main personal art series focuses on anatomically correct human hearts based on song lyrics, and through them I experiment with many different materials and ways of making. 

 

If I’m in the studio, I’ll probably be drinking tea and singing along to hard rock music while I work. When I’m not making art or working at my day job, you can find me taking a beach walk or hike and looking for birds along the way.
