Alison Holt is a textile artist whose work combines silk painting with free motion machine embroidery to create richly layered surfaces and textures. Using a basic sewing machine as a drawing tool, she produces detailed and expressive studies inspired by landscapes and the natural world.

Her practice is driven by a long-standing fascination with light, colour, and pattern. Through the interplay of stitch and paint, Alison seeks to capture fleeting moments and personal memories, motivated by a desire to observe, record, and interpret her surroundings. Alison has a BA (Hons) in Fine Art Textiles from Goldsmiths College, University of London, she is an author and tutor.
