**************************

Holly is most recognized for her self-titled "HOLLY SIMPLE TAROT" deck, which can be found sprinkled throughout the globe in the most adorable and special boutiques!

With a deep need to create tools for growth, Holly continues to craft divinely inspired decks and books that she hopes will help humans navigate this world. Her latest, Amulet Friends Oracle was a year and half long project that was inspired by time in the Southwest and her evolving relationship with Mother nature.

Holly Simple Studio was born in 2014 with the creation of Holly's first zine Roy G. Biv is DEAD. From there, her digital sketchblog was born (take a peek HERE). As more and more zines, gags, and gifs came to fruition, the vision for Holly Simple Tarot was ignited after her first reading - from there the journey of creating emotional and spiritually inspired decks began! 

Holly brings her art to the physical dimension with hand-built jewelry using vintage and dead stock beads and charms - along with her FASHIN clothing line - a collection of hand-painted and doodled wearables.

Through the manipulation fibers, clays, resin, and glues you will find Holly's beautifully naive home decor collection - A nod to her old passion, interior design and her years working in NYC for the well known Jonathan Adler.

It is IMPERATIVE that the grime of the indie zine and comics scene live throughout her work and visa versa; be it in a 14k gold ring that portrays a drippy bloody tear, or through the use of glitter and gold in a simple lapel pin. Holly Simple Studio is a considered collection of highbrow/lowbrow creations :) 

Holly's studio is located in the BOK Building in South Philadelphia alongside a collective of other makers and artists from all over the city!
