GALLERY SEASON 02 - SEPTEMBER 26
Paper Hands
Meet Holly
Holly Neilson is a Brisbane-based illustrator and the creative force behind Paper Hands.
Her whimsical, nature-filled work explores connection, regeneration and the small moments that help us make sense of the world around us.
Created to uplift, inspire and offer a moment of calm, Holly's art is often described as feeling like a warm hug - an invitation to slow down, reconnect and notice the things that matter.
The Paper Hands Artist Collection
Four artworks. One gentle invitation to slow down, look around and notice a little more.
DO THINGS FOR THE LOVE OF IT
GO SLOW
THE THREE FLOWER-TEERS
REST HERE
ARTWORK FEATURE - DO THINGS FOR THE LOVE OF IT
A little reminder to make space for the things that bring us joy.
One of Holly's favourite works from this collection, 'Do Things for the Love of It' captures a figure holding flowers between newspaper readers — a playful moment that feels quietly at odds with the busyness around it.
For Holly, creativity is closely connected to slowing down, noticing what is around us and making time for the things we love.
Perhaps that's the invitation here too: to step away from the noise every now and then, and do something simply for the love of it.
Beaniis = Art that Moves with You
The Gallery Box is an insulated lunchbox designed to carry more than lunch.
Interchangeable Art Sheets attach to the lid, turning an everyday object into your own changing gallery. Choose the artwork that speaks to you. Change it whenever you like. Take a little creativity with you wherever you go.

Can I buy the Art Sheet Packs separately?

If you're new to Beaniis, we recommend the Artist Collection Bundle, which includes everything you need to get started!
What makes this an Artist Collection?
The Artist Collection is a collaboration between Paper Hands and Beaniis.
Holly has licensed four original artworks for the Beaniis Art Sheet format, allowing her work to be enjoyed in a completely new way - beyond a gallery wall and into everyday life.
How long will this Artist Collection be available?
The Artist Collection is available during the collaboration period. Once the licensing period concludes, this collection will be retired from the Beaniis Gallery, making way for future artist collaborations.
Is the Gallery Box dishwasher safe?
We recommend hand washing the Gallery Box to help preserve its finish and ensure iot continues to look its best. However, it is fine in a cool dishwasher cycle, below 60degrees Celsius.
The Art Sheets should simply be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth if required.
Is this a good gift?
Absolutely.
The Artist Collection has been thoughtfully designed for creative people, art lovers and anyone who appreciates beautiful, functional design.
Whether you're shopping for yourself or someone special, it's a unique way to bring original artwork into everyday life.
Will there be more Artist Collections?
Yes! Beaniis is very focused on expanding our collaboration program to continue to feature Australian artists and illustrators.
Join our mailing list (the Gallery!) to hear about new Artist Collections, future releases and behind-the-scenes stories.
When will Orders Ship?
We aim to dispatch all in-stock orders within 3–5 business days from our Brisbane studio. We do note that there the Art Sheet Packs are hand-made, so please be patient during peak times!
If you're purchasing during a pre-order period, the estimated dispatch date will be clearly shown on the product page and in your order confirmation email.
