Holley Bakich - World Mythologies and Storytelling as Artistic Inspiration
Holley Bakich is a multi-faceted artist who wants to tell you a story—either an ancient myth, a religious epiphany, or a tale of a remarkable person—in images and symbols.
Craftsmanship, through the use of traditional processes, is her goal. Using beads, sequins, metal leaf, as well as leather and fabric, Holley draws upon mythologies and stories from all over the world. The materials, all hand sewn on leather, fabric, or wood, take time and patience, giving each artwork a part of herself through the meditative creative process. The materials she selects have a tactile quality that elevates the image above two dimensions, shaping and forming the material to last for hundreds of years.

Tracy Horner: “Palimpsest Paintings”
Palimpsest Paintings
After retiring from a successful career as an electrical engineer, Tracy Horner and her husband relocated to Prescott, Arizona. They arrived just before the pandemic, and once settled Tracy began looking for a creative community. She discovered the Arts Prescott Gallery and immediately knew it was the right home for her artistic journey.
Tracy works in several media, including fiber arts, digital painting, and jewelry. Her current focus is watercolor painting created on US Geological Survey topographical maps. Guided by her engineer’s mind, she approaches composition with structure and intention. Her paintings often feature the plants and animals native to the mapped region, expressed through clean geometric shapes and a unique blend of precision and whimsy.
Along with her paintings, Tracy also creates jewelry using electronic components and runs a side business designing and selling cross-stitch patterns. Her artistic range is wide, inventive, and full of delightful surprises.
Join us in December to hear Tracy share her process, inspiration, and her compelling approach to watercolor painting on maps.
