Bio
Holly Maria Da Roza's works are in multiple media and expressed primarily in abstract art. They examine the stimulation interference through a neurodivergent interpretation. Their ability to display in various media is expressed in recent exhibits and projects such as Alphabet Mafia presented by Calgary Pride and SpanicArt. Holly originates from Calgary, Alberta, where they graduated from Alberta University of the Arts with a BFA majoring in Painting and a Graphic Design Certificate of Achievement. They frequently seek out classes in composition to learn more about sound composition.

Artist Statment
Pulling from many different stimuli, I create forms through sound, visuals, and sensations. As a neurodivergent artist, I constantly experience the overabundance of the universe. Intrinsic interactions to the nature of the Self reflect interpersonally the Parts of the mind. While the universe is filled with constant influences and affects the Parts of the internal being, the circular flow seeks to achieve balance and harmony. Observation in both Asian spirituality and Internal Family System psychology theories.
