Matthew Holt (Bodyrender)

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 professional 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 completion of his studies at UIC in 2001, Holt started a thriving medical illustration business and continues to this day.
