Holly Apperson
GinHol Mosaics
Artist, Holly Apperson, is a native Floridian, born and educated in the Clearwater area but well-traveled throughout the US and the world. Both her parents were creative in the visual arts and her only sister is also a full time artist.
For more than 15 years, Holly created mosaics while employed as a healthcare professional. In 2015, she fulfilled a dream to work full time as an artist. The decision freed her to focus on art and her combined passions for bicycling, environmental sustainability, music, and color. Holly describes her work as upcycled because her creations emerge from repurposed old instruments with focal points of salvaged bicycle parts and other found metal objects.
In her Safety Harbor, FL, workspace, outside in the shade of a giant oak and amidst tropical foliage, Holly marries vivid stained-glass and shiny metal to defunct instruments to give them new life as wall jewelry. The instruments, which can no longer play to the ear, continue to play to the eye and the imagination.
The work of Holly Apperson, under the artist name of GinHol, has been accepted into galleries and juried fine art shows.
“It is truly amazing to love what you do, and for people to lovingly acknowledge and appreciate my creations is an extra bonus.” Holly
