Hannah Holliday Stewart (January 25, 1924–February 23, 2010) was born in Marion, Alabama. She received her Bachelors in Fine Arts from University of Montevallo, Alabama, and graduated from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan with a Master of Fine Arts. Shortly after, she moved to Houston, Texas, where she became a prominent member of the Houston art scene. Much of her work incorporated myths and goddess imagery and centered on the sacred feminine. Stewart exhibited at the Smithsonian, the Hugh Museum of Art, Dallas Museum of Fine Arts, San Francisco Museum of Fine Arts, and had a large piece commissioned in Hermann Park in Houston, an unlikely honor for a female sculptor at the time. This sculpture, Atropos Key, still stands in Hermann Park. Stewart moved to Albuquerque 20 years prior to her death where she worked in seclusion.
Stewart was primarily a sculptor who worked in bronze but she also created paper reliefs, paper cutouts, wooden sculpture, wire sculpture, granite sculpture, and pottery.
