Hello, I'm Hollie!

Let me introduce myself...I'm a proud wife and mum to two teenagers, living in sunny Queensland, Australia. I’m a passionate art enthusiast, proud Swiftie, cheese aficionado, and proudly neurodivergent.

My professional journey has spanned more than two decades across a range of creative roles, including illustration, graphic and textile design, marketing, sales, and coordinating events and brand activations. But it wasn’t until late 2019 that I found my true calling in reborn artistry. From the moment I began, I was captivated by the process of bringing these lifelike dolls to life, and it quickly became a deep and lasting passion.

Each reborn I create is carefully and lovingly made using premium-quality vinyl kits, paints, and materials, with an unwavering commitment to detail and realism. Every baby that leaves my studio comes with thoughtfully chosen accessories such as a dummy, blanket, and coordinating outfit, adding an extra touch of charm and authenticity.

While I strive to capture every detail in my photographs, please note that the appearance of each reborn may vary slightly due to lighting conditions. Every reborn is uniquely hand-painted, so subtle differences and variations are part of what gives each one its distinct character. Although the paint is durable, regular play and handling over time may lead to minor marks, fading, shininess, or light scratches.

Beyond the artistry itself, what fuels my passion is the profound emotional connection these dolls bring to people, especially those with disabilities or special support needs. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness the positive, sometimes transformative, impact reborns can have. Whether offering comfort through grief, promoting sensory regulation, encouraging communication and connection, or simply bringing joy through beautiful artistry, each doll I create has the potential to enrich lives in meaningful ways.

Receiving beautiful stories of gratitude from clients, and seeing their smiles, continues to reaffirm why I do what I do. It’s a privilege to create something that brings not only beauty and happiness, but also comfort and support to those who need it most.

In addition to my work as a reborn artist, I’m also the founder of the Reborn Artistry Alliance (RAA)—an online competition platform and artist directory designed to spotlight ethical artists and businesses in our industry. Through our awards, education, and resources, we celebrate extraordinary talent, nurture developing artists, and work to raise the standard of excellence, credibility, and authenticity in the reborn art community.

Thanks so much for visiting!
