Hillary Holmes, of hillytree design, grew up partly in Hawaii, mostly in Florida, with a long stint in NJ. From a young age, she was astounded by the colors and textures she found in nature and knew early on that one's surroundings could be a grounding force in life. A self taught artist and designer, she has taken classes in everything from 'Feng Shui for Interiors' at Moore College of Art & Design, to 'Silkscreening' at Parsons School of Design in NYC. Hillary is certified as a color consultant in the 'Confident Color System' ™. She loves to move around furniture when she's feeling stuck, takes dance classes whenever she can, and spends her downtime with her husband, cat and dog at their 70's ranch just outside of Asheville, NC.
