Holly Croteau

Wife, Mommy, artist and hairstylist.

I was born in 1979. That means I am 26. I am a wife to Chris. We have been married since I was 18! I love him. He is great. We are both artists and have recently added another artist (see photos of croteaus) to this wild and funky world. She was born in October of 2004. She is my love, my life, my inspiration and a breath of fresh air every single day! Her name? Miss Ella Louise Croteau, of course! I was born in this really well... different place called McComb, MS. We moved to CO when I was about 11 and that is where I grew up. It was so wonderful growing up there~ especially for me as an artist. Colorado has some really free spirits and is such a beautiful place to call home. However, we moved back here, to MS in 1998. And, it has been ummm an experience. Chris came here with me, having never lived in this part of the country. You see, Chris and I met in the Beastie Boys chatroom ~ he came to CO from VA and has been stuck with me every since. I loved the Beastie Boys and well, since then, I have loved 'em even more! Sometimes my life gets crazy because I am passionate about lots of things. I love my family. I have a sister who is my bestest bestest bestest friend in the whole wide world, Mindy. And, I have a brother, Cannon, that you could say keeps us on our feet. I love my little brother to death. And, well, we all know how little brothers are. And my mom and dad (AKA Mustang Sally and Pappy) are the bomb. My dad is my hero. He is so great. I don't even need to get started on that or we will be here all night. He is the rock that keeps us all in check. And Mustang, she is great too. She loves being a grandma and Ella loves her. I am a business owner and hairstylist @ Head to Toe Salon. Love my job. Love it. And, I get to work with Bonnie, my sister in law, Mallory (AKA Ella's Mia), and another cool, hip, chick, Jessi. She is great. It is so awesome to love your job. I am also an artist. I paint (acrylic, oil and absorbant dye) as well as draw, love photography, and have now started my latest venture~ Scrapbooking and Paper Craft. And, it is so great. I am so happy to be making new artsy friends and seeing everyone's creative ideas!
