Holly Cahill
Interdisciplinary Art
Chicago, IL
Holly Cahill is a Chicago-based interdisciplinary artist working between painting, drawing, fibers, sculpture, and collage. Her process-oriented abstractions gather inspiration and materials from natural phenomena that speak to issues of growth, transformation, and embodied experiences that intersect with the ways we navigate the built and natural environments.

Most recently, her work has been included in exhibitions at Secrist|Beach, Hyde Park Art Center, 65GRAND, Epiphany Center for the Arts, Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation, Chicago Artists Coalition (Chicago, IL), and nationalmuseum (Berlin, Germany). She has been an artist in residence at Chicago Artists Coalition, Spudnik Press Cooperative (Chicago, IL), Vermont Studio Center (Johnson, VT), 8550 Ohio (Chesterhill, OH), Banff Centre (Banff, Canada), and Ox-Bow (Saugatuck, MI).
