About My Work

---

“Holly Grey’s work dives into the folk stories of the Great Western Migration and the echoes of the prairie where she grew up. Through thick glazes, pottery shards, and found materials, she reimagines Western motifs and the push of Manifest Destiny, juxtaposed with a deep respect and curiosity for Indigenous cultures. Stand before her work and feel the layers of time and view an eye-catching history lesson wrapped into art.”

ARTIST STATEMENT

I grew up on the prairie in Kansas, a few miles from the Oregon and Chisholm Trails, and the folk stories of “The Great Western Migration.”  My work reflects on the complex interplay of identities, conflicts, and iconography that shaped the American frontier. Whether viewed as homage, artifact, or critique, it stands as a ceramic backdrop for multifaceted storytelling.
