About
Tania Holland
BFA (Oxon)
A bit about me...
Once upon a time before the dawn of social media,
I studied sculpture and painting at The Ruskin School
of Fine Art, Oxford University and have now been a practicing artist for nearly 30 years.
I have exhibited in London and supply delightful galleries and shops around the U.K.
Today, my artwork combines a variety of media in an original way and offers me the freedom to populate the world with an array of cheerful artefacts!
Choose from a selection of characterful sculpture, paintings, prints and cards available direct or from my online shop or you can make an appointment to visit the gallery or sign up for one of my workshops!
The art that I make brings my happy places to life...
Escaping into the garden of our family home to befriend it's inhabitants.
Let me share some of this with you!
Creativity can make you happy!
I believe that real creativity is the creation of something you haven't seen before - customers frequently comment that my work is "different" which is the highest compliment!
I like to have fun with my art which makes it accessible and it is often laced with idiosyncratic humour.
Originally founded in Bridgnorth, I have rebuilt my studio and gallery space at my home near Kinver where you can take part in workshops to learn my techniques or visit by appointment to
browse my work.
I absolutely love Tania Holland's birds. So unique and love their expressions, character and gorgeous colours. Beautifully made with brilliant detailing including the magazine clipping which are brilliantly chosen. Even though the lead time is (understandably) quite long for Tania to make the birds for the order she managed to get them to me much quicker, which I really appreciated.

Get ready to be charmed! Tania elevates paper mache beyond the ordinary. Whimsical and bursting with personality, each piece is lovingly handcrafted from salvaged materials, making them unique as they are delightful.
