Hollie McAllister is a primarily self taught artist who has been drawing since she was a young girl. Hollie worked in the corporate world for 30 years and only did painting and drawing as a hobby. When Hollie's sister commissioned an artist to do pencil portraits of her children and was disappointed in the likeness, Hollie asked if she might give it a try. The results were positive, and so a new career began. Hollie knows her talent is a gift from God, and wants her work and life to be a testimony to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Hollie is a Southern girl and continues to live in the South with her husband and two sons, where she looks forward to continue doing what she loves and capturing the essence of people in her drawings. She is a member of Fellowship of Christians in Portraiture.
