Olivia Eshe Holt (b. 1998) is a visual artist native to Detroit, Michigan. Her artistry spans from traditional handcrafting to experimental techniques in ceramics, masonry, and mixed media. Through her multidisciplinary practice, she explores how materiality can be used to symbolize and give form to intangible phenomena. Her installations, sculptures and ceramic works are the outcomes of deep reflection on emotion, existence, connection, memory and time. 

Olivia earned her BFA in Product Design with a minor in Craft & Material Studies from the College for Creative Studies. She is currently focused on developing new bodies of artworks in the city of Detroit.
