Bobbie Holt is a full time musician and artist,

Promoting wellness and healing of the mind, body, and soul while fusing and incorporating recycled materials in many of her collections.
“When you see my work I hope that your spirit relates and that you enjoy it as much as I enjoy creating it! Every day I sell a piece of art…is another day I am able to do what I love, and there is nothing better than that. So thank you! Truly. Thank You. From the bottom of my heart…”
more about me…
I’m the youngest of four daughters. I was born and raised in SC with a life centered around God, family, music and all things creative. I cherish my friends and family… I love music – playing and singing. I ‘d like to be doing more of that too… I love to paint, draw, sketch, sculpt, create… I enjoy cooking, organizing, and cleaning… and most of all I like completing ideas from start to finish… I love to pioneer my way in everything I do. I’m a skeptic and a perfectionist… YIKES!
I generally work best by myself in my little art studio with some good music and a sweet ice tea by my side. I’m full of ideas all the time but don’t speak of them until I’m ready to commit to it and see that it is accomplished. I went to school for music, got married, dropped out of college because I hated it, moved to Nashville, made song writing my audible diary and painting my source of income…,had enough of being homesick so I moved back to SC and live even closer to the beach that I love… I continue to pursue both music and art passionately… I realize that my “calling” and “purpose” is to move along with the holy spirit and grow while using my “gifts” to share the love and hope of God to others… I’m very sentimental and as I get older I realize that it’s more important to laugh than cry even though I probably cry about something everyday. I’m pretty random and all over the place and that has been diagnosed, tested and approved!... I love animals and I have the best pets on the planet. I’m very blessed… 2008 brings many new opportunities for me in my creative endeavors and I look forward to sharing those with everyone soon…
...
I am a self-taught artist popular for my one of a kind
eco friendly mixed media technique. This “style” is something that I’ve morphed over the years and is completely invented out of personal trial and error…
I create ceramic like work with the faux effects of firing and glazing without the use of clay and kiln.
All materials were primarily discarded from homebuilding sites and salvaged to reduce waste in landfills by reusing home builder’s unwanted materials, and in turn recycled into original artwork including the custom built frames.
Another way of re-using materials come right from my kitchen. The color palatte in each piece is artwork in itself created by mixing household spices, teas, and day old coffee with watered down acrylics made specifically for each piece. No color can be duplicated. The finish over each work is simply resin/epoxy better known as surf board glazing. This effect not only deepens the handmade color it makes each piece water proof.

Hi Bobbi – can you tell me where and when the Belle Meade Fall Fest will be this year. I’m interested in outsider art – is there a place that you look to find the exhibits? Thanks so much – Mike
