Eleanor Spiess- Ferris is a dear friend I met while living in Chicago. Her work is so powerful. 

"Holly’s Dream" is a narrative story of the swan traveling to meet the woman in the woods. One of my favorite parts is that of the swan shown moving, traveling in time through the painting- each time getting closer to the woman.

When I view her work I always feel as if I have stepped into the middle of an epic dream.

Holly Wilson has exhibited her intimate bronze sculptures and her mixed media encaustic relief sculptures nationally. Wilson’s figures draw both from real life and legends of her Delaware and Cherokee background.
