Artist Collaborations

Holly Ward Bimba

Holly Ward Bimba is the artist behind Golly Bard. 

Her watercolor paintings are inspired by just about everything, but mostly a jumble of natural history, curiosities of nature, all kinds of flora and fauna from her garden, the cycle of life, patterns, formal gardens, and miniatures of the mughal court. 

When she is not painting you will find her taking long walks, documenting odd bits of nature or digging in her cottage garden where she grows heirloom dahlias, native flora for pollinators, and has a passion for collecting specialty snowdrops. She loves reading and watching birds from her kitchen window.

She lives in Upperville, Virginia with her husband, Chuck and dogs, Ladybird and J. Atticus Finch a.k.a. Birdie and Jem.

Holly created the Slater Run Vineyards script logo and our feather collection of labels.

Jodi & Kurt Baier

Jodi & Kurt met in high school & have since built a life together pursuing their creative endeavors in gardening, food, & photography. These interests are so intertwined that often the lines blur between them.

Jodi & Kurt daily maintain several large flower gardens devoted to perennials & annuals, as well as an extensive culinary garden that stays in production all year. 

Their time is usually spent between the garden & the kitchen, growing & creating nourishing food, & sharing their bounty with the community around them.
