Where alchemy meets art.
I was an admirer of Holly Carr, long before Wild Witch Potager was even an idea. Holly grew up in Fall River (my hometown), attended NSCAD, and began a career and life in the Annapolis Valley where she lives and creates colorfully and entirely in tune with nature. Her silk paintings are pure joy captured on fabric. When I conceptualized this series of candles, I knew no one could capture the essence of Wild Witch Potager better than Holly. Collaborating with her for the Silk & Shadow collection is a full-circle moment combining a piece of home, a kindred spirit, and a shared love of nature and art.
A bit about Holly Carr.
Holly is a nationally recognized Nova Scotian artist known for her large-scale silk paintings and immersive performances. Her work has been featured in galleries across Canada and in collaborations with numerous arts organizations, bringing a unique blend of fantasy and naturalism to the contemporary art scene.
