Shanna Hollis is a graphic designer, muralist, art teacher and chairwoman on the Bermuda Art’s Council.

We caught up with her to get a beat on what she’s loving right now.


Who Are You Listening To
My favourite song is “Turn Your Lights Down Low” by Bob Marley and Lauryn Hill!
I have a playlist called “No Comprende” featuring Bad Bunny and Dembow artists. It’s my go-to for workouts or when I’m painting murals.
When designing, I listen to lo-fi Pop or Afrobeats.

Best Pizza
Portofino’s is the”OG” spot but if I’m feeling like something quick, a thin-crust pepperoni pizza from Four Star is a close second.

Best, Recently Read, Book
I love She’s Flowers and Fire by Butterflies Rising. It’s a collection of poetry all about wildness, freedom, empowerment, and just being yourself. Honestly, it feels like a self-portrait.

Favourite Place
My favourite escape is Cooper’s Island and Tom Moore’s Jungle, just don’t come looking for me.

Who Makes You Laugh
My students at Kaleidoscope Arts Foundation are hilarious! They keep me on my toes with the things they say. And of course, I can’t resist a good meme!

Favourite Weekend Thing
Saturday means a beach day or nature walk, and Sunday is a girls’ day with my family or a date night. 

Best TV Show
The Office for a good laugh, You, any cooking show, and I love a good cartoon!

Current Coffee Shop
Latte’s ordering a Thai tea no boba, a chicken salad sandwich…and possibly karaoke.

Place to Meet a Friend
The beach is my go-to spot, even though my besties don’t like the sand. If not the beach, I love drinks at Harry’s or Intrepid Bar.

Favourite Website
I’m obsessed with Farm Rio and Desigual. Also, check out my brother’s website www.nahshonhollis.com!
