Deborah Holt grew up in the heart of the Mississippi Delta and currently lives in Jackson, Mississippi. Always drawn to art and creative endeavors, her current work demonstrates her interest in textile art. She has developed the process for transferring a garment to canvas, combining the essence of a painting with sculptural features. Using this process, she has transferred such pieces as christening gowns, vintage lingerie, and wedding gowns. Deborah works in a neutral, monochromatic palette. This enhances the sculptural elements of the work and highlights the intricate design elements of each garment.
Working with garments that are treasured for their sentimental value, as well as for their beautiful construction and design, Deborah has been able to offer an option to those who want to preserve a special garment and transform it into a piece of art that can be viewed and enjoyed for many years.
