Bend-based artist Holly Fischer creates fine-art photography and ceramics inspired by the beauty, scale, and texture of the natural world. Her photographic work explores dramatic landscapes, wildlife, and fleeting moments of light and atmosphere, with an emphasis on images that feel both expansive and intimate. Her photography has been recognized and featured by the National Park Service, Canon USA and National Geographic, reflecting a body of work grounded in both technical skill and a strong sense of place. That same connection to nature carries into her ceramic practice, where she creates hand-built vessels and sculptural forms influenced by bark, stone, earth, and weathered organic surfaces. Across both mediums, Holly’s work is an exploration of wild places and the enduring forms, textures, and moments that make them unforgettable. She most recently returned from her first safari in Tanzania bringing back a new body of work that captures the vast, untamed beauty of the Serengeti.
She is the proud mother of three boys, all whom live in Bend. She enjoys exploring the mountains and lakes with them and enjoying the beautiful scenery around her home.
Her work can be viewed locally at The Artists’ Gallery of Sunriver and The Tumalo Art Co. in the Old Mill in Bend, OR.
