the long awaited launch of holly trenbath's website portfolio is here
The long awaited launch of Holly Trenbath's professional digital footprint is finally hitting the world wide web. This emerging artist's (I had to do it eek) website portfolio officially goes live on October 31st, 2025 - a Samhain surprise! It is said that at Samhain (or Halloween as you may know it), from the setting sun of the last day of October to the setting sun of the first day of November, "the division between this world and the otherworld is at its thinnest, allowing spirits to pass through."
"The internet is an otherworld of sorts and I think publishing my site on Halloween is a symbol of letting people, or spirits, in to take a closer look," says Trenbath, the dance-based movement artist, "And though I'd like to claim intentionality on the launch date, I think I just got lucky."
Speaking of lucky, this may be how you recognize Holly's presence across the ethersphere. They changed their Instagram handle from @hollytaylor.t to @holly.go.lucky* in 2022 to reflect the nickname they'd been somewhat christened with as a child when many folx at her dance studio would relentlessly point out her cheerful disposition. The endearing moniker stuck mostly because of this fact; however, "I think people just thought my red hair meant I was Irish and had a love affair with four leaf clovers."
*Note that this is just one of two epithets held by the multi-faceted performance artist. Her account @shivernshake offers further insight into her creative practices as opposed to her personal mischief.
Contrary to the popular belief, the of origin of Holly's auburn locks and sun-kissed freckles are of a different Celtic descent. The Trenbath name derives from Cornwall, one of the regions credited with Samhain's emergence during the Iron Age. It's said that the Festival of Samhain "marked the end of the Celtic year and the beginning of the new one" as the northern hemisphere enter's the darker half of the calendar. It's the Celts traditional New Year, except instead of sparkles and alcohol they have communal fires and dress up as harmful spirits in order to ward them off. Anyhow, "It's a new beginning for my ancestors so I will make it a new beginning for me. Welcome to my otherworld!"

okay okay enough with the antics. you like how i interviewed myself? could it get any more leo-coded? anyways, i just want to say that i am really happy that you are here. i've put off making a website for a long time because i have this falsified belief that everything has to be perfect right away but i recently saw a meme of a frog that said "a person who doesn't make mistakes usually doesn't make anything" and it made me sit up straight.
so with that, welcome to my site, welcome to my friends and all of the friends I haven't met yet.
i encourage you all to take a gander around, let me know what you think! i'll see you all soon enough.
take care, be well.
