ABOUT HOLT

74574B68-6458-4081-96B0-BEA0F7127CE8_edi

Holt graduated from Appalachian State University in 2001 with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts with a major in Graphic Design. She decided to take a chance and move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in graphic design. Her dream was to work at one of the big studios in Hollywood, but fate took her another direction. She began training in the Mission: Renaissance Academy and soon became the Teens and Adult Program Director. During that time, she took another chance in the summer of 2003 when enrolled at the International School of Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture in Umbria, Italy. Later in 2005 she decided it was time to move back to her home state of North Carolina and was the Gallery Director for Green Rice Gallery in Noda, Charlotte NC. This is when Holt began making a name for herself by capturing the beautiful scenery surrounding her and having solo artist shows with various galleries throughout the Carolinas. 

    

Holt started the "Holt School of Fine Art" in 2009 and the school has now grown to over 600 students with three locations throughout Charlotte. When Holt is not helping teach the young budding artists at Holt School or painting away in her studio, she and her husband can be found as a "taxi drivers" for their two children Lyla and Hyde Cleaver.


Holt is Founder and Co-Owner of
Holt School of Fine Art with Kate Stewart located in Charlotte, Pineville, and Davidson, NC. Holt School of Fine Art is where children, teens and adults are taught the basics of drawing and painting.
