Artist Statement

Alison Holt is a textile artist based in Shropshire with a fine art textiles degree from Goldsmiths College London.

She combines silk painting and freehand machine embroidery, to create different surfaces and textures within her work.
Drawing with a basic sewing machine Alison creates richly detailed and textured studies of landscapes and the natural world. Her art reflects her fascination with pattern, light and colour. She aims to capture a moment and a memory, driven by the need to explore and record what she sees through stitch and paint.

With an established career as a textile artist, tutor and author Alison has exhibited widely in the UK, Australia, NZ and Europe, including selected shows at the Mall Galleries, London with various Royal Societies including the RSMA where she won the Charles Pears Award.
