The Art of Becoming: Holly Layman on Cardboard, Confidence, and Creative Life
Description
What do you get when you mix childhood wonder, artistic bravery, and a whole lot of cardboard? You get Holly Layman, a soulful, wildly creative artist who’s turning an ordinary material into extraordinary expression.
In this episode, Holly shares her journey as an artist who works in the unexpected medium of cardboard, crafting large-scale, one-of-a-kind pieces that don’t just catch the eye, they tell a story.
We talk about:
Holly's magical, art-filled childhood and deep connection to nature and horses
Why she's choosing now to fully step into her place in the art world
How aging can bring unexpected gifts like confidence, clarity, and courage
The soulful rituals and practical tools that keep her creatively nourished
This conversation is about more than art. It’s about honoring what lights you up, embracing the quirks that make your work (and life) uniquely yours, and trusting the timing of your becoming.
Whether you're a fellow creative or just someone finding your own path a little later in life, Holly's story will inspire you to stay curious, stay true, and maybe even pick up some cardboard.
