Holly Popielarz is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Connecticut. Working from her home studio, she creates drawings, objects, and mixed-media works that explore the relationship between environment, chance, and personal narrative. Her recent work focuses on observing and documenting local rock formations as a way of processing change within the landscape and within herself.

Deeply influenced by the environments she inhabits, Popielarz treats her surroundings not just as inspiration, but as active participants in her creative process. She is drawn to the forces—natural, social, and personal—that shape how we live, move, and make meaning. Chance, unpredictability, and impermanence are central themes in her work.
