About Tania
Tania Holland "proper artist" BFA (Oxon)
Tania is a U.K. artist of the "proper" variety
meaning that she has a formal Fine Art education and a dedicated lifelong practice.
She finds nothing more satisfying than creative invention and practical problem solving.
To quote her husband "she loves a project".
​
She has a foot in both 2D and 3D camps and believes that real creativity is the creation of something you haven't seen before, the resulting collections of work are constantly developing, accessible and often laced with idiosyncratic humour. Customers frequently comment that Tania's work is "different" and she considers this the highest compliment!
​
Tania's Gallery is a platform for showcasing her own artwork
in addition to other handmade things she likes. In 2008 she relocated to the West Midlands to establish Tania Holland Gallery in the Shropshire market town of Bridgnorth. During 2020 the gallery moved to her home near Kinver and is currently open by appointment.

Once upon a time before the dawn of social media, Tania studied Fine Art at The Ruskin School of Fine Art and Drawing, Oxford University and has been a practicing artist for nearly 30 years.
She has exhibited in London and supplies delightful galleries and shops around the U.K.
Her artworks combine a variety of media in an original way and offers her the freedom to
populate the world with an array of pleasing artefacts!
​
Populate your own world with pleasing artefacts by choosing from a selection of original sculpture, paintings, prints and cards available direct or from the shop.
​
Beautiful artistry. Customer service was excellent, keeping me informed throughout.
