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.
