------ Matthew Holt ------

With a pencil in his hand before he was able to speak,
Matthew Holt was drawing the world around him. Art
supplies and "pop-up" anatomy books given to him as
gifts while growing up, inspiration was found in both the
arts and the sciences. Not knowing about the profess-
ional field of medical illustration until high school, Holt
developed his art skills to a high caliber of realism.

Creativity and the curiosity of the body lead Holt to
pursue his chosen career of medical illustration once
he was informed of the field. With degrees in Art and
Biology from Augustana College, Holt continued into
graduate studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago
in the Biomedical Visualization Program. On complet-
ion of his studies at UIC in 2001, Holt started a thriving
medical illustration business and continues to this day.
