Holli Conger: Children's Portfolio | Licensing Portfolio | Blog | Facebook | Twitter

Holli's artistic talent and creativity has been evident from a very early age. Although she excelled in many areas of school, art projects were always her favorite. In third grade, Holli's art teacher presented her with a big green pencil case (which she still has today) for having the best drawing in the class.

With a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design and Advertising, Holli has the knowledge and experience of working with art directors, designers, copywriters and other creative types to collaborate on projects. She lives in Nashville, TN, where her husband, their daughter and their goofy basset hound, give her plenty of inspiration. She is proud to tell people she is living her dream.
