Original Artist Highlight
Welcome to the world of original artist
Mary Louise Holt
Mary Louise Holt specializes in bringing the Eastern American Frontier back to life through her artwork. She has always had a passion for natural history, and today she routinely combines her skills as a wildlife, landscape and figurative painter to create compelling images of the Eastern American frontier as it existed before European settlement. Through her art she brings to life on canvas the Native Americans and the wilderness that sustained them.
Earlier this year, Holt was commissioned to create a painting called "Sacred Fire Ceremony" - a work that was presented to the Fort Ancient Museum and is now in the museum's permanent collection. Throughout the centuries, the Sacred Fire has been a crucial component of all ceremonies that were, and still are, practiced by the Native Americans.
