Rowan Giselle Holt is a multimedia artist and educator recently based on Rakiura Stewart Island. Her practice is deeply rooted in the island’s natural environment, with native flora serving as a central source of inspiration. Working across mediums such as watercolour, textiles, sculpture,and fashion design, she often draws on traditional feminine crafts - handstitching, weaving, and tailoring - to explore the relationship between nature and contemporary life.
With over two decades of experience in both studio practice and arts education, Giselle holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Dunedin School of Art. She has exhibited her work internationally, including in Italy and Shanghai, as well as throughout Aotearoa in both major galleries and private collections. Recent recognition of her work includes being a finalist in the 2024 Aspiring Art Awards in Wānaka and receiving a merit award at the UXBRIDGE Ecology and Art exhibition in Auckland.
