Holly Stewart designs and creates home furnishings & accessories, paper products and scarves.
Attention to color, form, craft and detail, her works are pieces of contemporary art and design.
With a degree in fine art Stewart began working with silk and fabrics that usually took the form of elegant and colorful scarves.
"I've always had a passion for reupholstery. My mother was always recovering furniture, reusing an old piece and giving it new life.
My new work involves the idea of a challenge I set out for myself. I want to make the silk purse from the sow's ear... so to speak. I love to find an unusable piece and bring it to glorious life. Recovering is a good term, these pieces are recovered and made new again, but with a twist.
Vintage fabrics have striking style, patterns and color options that challenge my sensibilities. I make choices and reinvent with the individual piece and fabric on the spot. Every new item becomes a work of art for the home."
