ALYSSA CHRISTEN HOLT
Born in Portland, Maine, raised on Cape Cod, I’ve come back to my roots and now reside in beautiful Downeast Maine where I love creating – and sharing – my unique art with the world.
I’ve always had a passion for creating art and experimenting with different mediums and techniques. My main concentration is one-of-a-kind, wire-wrapped jewelry using precious gemstones, sterling and fine silver, yellow and rose gold, copper and brass. But I have an equally persistent passion for painting in acrylic and watercolor, drawing in pencil, pen and ink, and using my graphic design experience to design logos and marketing materials for small businesses. I studied at the Art Institute of Boston and have immersed myself in a number of workshops to learn more about silversmithing, precious metal clay, torch-fired enamel, ceramics, woodturning, woodcarving, and many more. I refuse to stop learning! I enjoy brightening our world with playful use of color, introducing new perspectives and abstract ideas, and creating original art where no two pieces are alike. I want to share my one-of-a-kind art with you with the hope it brings you joy or stirs your emotions. |
