Los collages de Hollie muestran la influencia de poemas y cuentos de hadas a los que la autora se aficionó en la niñez. En ocasiones, el punto de partida no es un tema o una idea, sino el propio material, que Hollie explora e interroga hasta dar con la forma que lo hace cobrar vida. La técnica que más emplea Hollie es el collage, sobre todo a partir de materiales ya utilizados, que complementa con acuarelas y dibujo a lápiz. El resultado son obras delicadas e impactantes, en las que el aire de antigüedad que aportan los materiales contrasta vivamente con colores sólidos y vibrantes.
