My name is Holly and I call myself Spherical Me, here on Flickr. I think it represents what it is I like to do best, and that is to make art with Spheres in it. I'm orb obsessed.....I just can't help it!
I love photography and art. I have had a camera in my hands since I was 9 years old. I used to save my allowance to have my black and white photos developed at the drugstore. When I got a little older, I got a 35 mm camera and was hooked from then on. I have my own darkroom and have spent many happy hours in the dark, breathing chemicals. But now since I have a digital camera, the sky is the limit, I'm up out of the basement, and I'm at the computer instead. I am saving for a better camera, but for now, I'm happy to use what I have and play with photographs using Photoshop.
I am so very lucky to have a few loyal friends who will allow me to alter their original photos to get inspired and make my art. My heart and thanks go out to them, for allowing me to do this. You have no idea how much it means to me!
Thanks for dropping by to see my art and photos, I appreciate your time, your comments and your interest in my work.
I try to keep my contact list and group list small to be able to keep up. I don't want Flickr to be a job, I want it to be fun!
I am the Creator and Admin for the group Impulsive Creations, and if you like, drop in and see us sometime.

"Holly is a true inspiration to all who attempt to be a digital artist.
Her manipulated images are so unique that they seem to come from outside her.
They are truly outstanding.
She has been a true Flickr friend and has commented on my attempts at digital art and offered many helpful suggestions.
I am so glad you are back, Holly, and consider me a friend.
One couldn't ask for more."6th February, 2009

"Holly is a Star in my book! Her photo and digital artistry stood out immediately when she first joined Flickr. I know you will become Spellbound by her Enchanting Talent when you view her photostream. She has the "gift" of being a True Artist. Holly, is an inspiration to me as well as to others. It is a joy and honor to have her friendship. Thank you Holly! Diane"

"It's funny about Flickr - it's unique in that, we are not just sharing pictures, some of us are sharing ourSELVES - like a big network of Pen Pals...That's such a bonus! ANd though some would think it easy to hide one's true nature behind an e-mail or comment here and there, I think in the long run, a person's true "colors" will shine through. We're all probably a bit "smudgier" in person than we are on Flickr, but I have always perceived Holly to be a kind and honest soul with a tremendous capcity for caring for others - it comes through in her work.
Her work is unique and beautiful, but that's nothing compared to the beauty of her spirit, which is exceptional.
She's a treasure - and they are few and far between on the earth.
Much love,
Jeri"28th December, 2008

"Absolutely one of the best......
Holly has a custom made photo and food blender that will dazzle and amaze you. Holly should offer up classes on some of her techniques, I'd be in the front row. Put on your lobster bib and 3-D glasses and sit down with a glass of wine and prepare yourself for a visual feast, you'll be left wanting more and more. If you only have 10 contacts, be sure she's on the top of your list."8th December, 2008

"Dear Holly- my comment is simple. With ALL the fabulous artists I see on flickr- if I had to choose just ONE to follow, it would be you!
You have inspired me over and over and over. I believe I am growing as a digital artist in part because of your creativity and skills.
I will always look for your creations as I know it will make me smile.
Hugs- Irene:-)"24th May, 2008

"Huzzah Holly is my flickr phubble sister, flickr soul mate, and a mirror of my imagination. She has been steadfast as a contact and feeds me a steady diet of inspiration...
She also maintains a mystery about her that is hard to describe - yet doesn't need to be solved. Art is her essence as you will see on her stream - be prepared for her magic phubble ride and you won't be disappointed!

"Discovering Holly's works of art here on Flickr opened my eyes to what is possible in the world of digital manipulation; they are inspirational. She is a true Master of her craft with boundless imagination and the phenomenal ability to turn her ideas into images of beauty. Her sense of fun shows in her creations.
She is generous with her encouragement and always willing to share tips on the baffling technicalities - her support of my experimentation and help through the software maze has been invaluable to me. Thank you Hol! :-)"29th October, 2007
