Return of the Warrior

Holly Eva’s Warrior Woman series 

I began painting my Warrior Women in 2014, when I was a stay-at-home mum needing a little escape. While my kids slept, I’d sneak out to the shed and paint — bold, colourful portraits with big earrings each carrying a specific energy.

Over time, I realised each painting carried a message — a kind of download from the universe that always seemed to reach someone who needed a little healing.

I no longer work on commission; I just let the stories flow, and trust they’ll find the right home.

The Warrior Woman doesn’t fight in the traditional sense — she stands for peace, awareness, and emotional truth. She is all bout you and she understands  the courage it takes to heal old patterns, to see yourself clearly, and to honour beliefs while still staying rooted in your own.

These paintings are both personal and universal — inspired by Holly’s own journey of reclaiming confidence, intuition, and power through colour and shapes. Each mark  becomes an act of remembering that true strength is found not in armour, but in vulnerability of letting go, the humility of the unknown and of course self-acceptance.
