Hollie is recognised for her vibrantly coloured artworks which explore and celebrate spirituality and freedom of expression. Well-known in the Queensland ARI scene during the 1980s, her art practice regularly features recurring themes such as the power of the 'life force' and the interconnection of all things.

Somewhere in a parallel universe all will make sense 1996 develops Hollie's notion of ‘holism' by uniting fundamental binaries, such as light and dark, interior and exterior, and ‘the self’ vs ‘the other’, and drawing on various philosophies such as Taoism, and Indigenous Australian spirituality. Although the work appears to be completely spontaneous it is skillfully constructed, with a special emphasis on form, colour and brushwork that is subtly inter-woven.

The stylised shape of the ply resembles flames of a fire or branches of a tree, motifs which are associated with spiritual and physical growth, renewal and change. Hollie uses these symbols to celebrate life in all its complexity, and to express a positive vision of personal growth. The expanding patterns reflect a postmodern appreciation of nature as both deeply structured and infinitely chaotic.
