Holly Dormor is a visual artist working in Sydney NSW. In recent years she has turned her attention to still life painting – primarily botanical in theme. Throughout her practice Holly has emphasised light as a vehicle for mood and sentiment. She was a finalist in the 2023 National Emerging Art Prize and the 2023 Hunter’s Hill Art Prize. As a multidisciplinary artist she was a finalist in the 2015 Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize. Holly’s work is held privately throughout Australia.
Established in 2021, the National Emerging Art Prize was created to provide an annual, highly visible national platform to identify, promote and support the most promising emerging visual and ceramic artists in Australia.
