Diana Wolfe Larkin, art historian: Holly Alderman's art combines serious purpose, wit, and whimsy in an engaging alchemy. In the multi-layered images of her Cyber Heroes project for the National Academy, she makes past and present speak to each other in a lively dialogue. Icons of New York's Gilded Age mingle with references to the city of today, while figures formed of dotted lights march in front, as if into the future. The effect is stunning and thought-provoking.

Thanks so much for presenting
"Public Murals Around the
County and Around the World"
for our Thursday Morning
Lecture Series.... As I said, I've
attended hundreds of lectures
here, and it had to be the most
enjoyable I've experienced yet.
You have so much to offer: a
wealth of information, an
incredibly inspiring passion
for your subject, and a warm
and gracious personal style.
Your openness and willingness
to respond to questions and
comments was most appreciated.

> Such a feast you produced.
It really felt like a visual banquet.
Following your growth as an artist
is really a swooping magic carpet
ride--probably on one of your
tapestries. It was such a treat
to see you amid the excitement
of your work... thank you for
bringing into being such
imaginative and wonderfully
executed fabric and images."

ONE OF A KIND
It MAKES the room!*
- Pebble Gifford, Cambridge
The dining room has long been considered the "heart" of our 220-year old house in southern New Hampshire. Enter muralist Holly Alderman. In a collaborative effort using antique postcards, antique family photo albums, picture
research, outdoor sketches and original photography, Holly composed murals on four walls that now depict natural beauty, area history, family history and anecdotal detail to engage or delight all who view or visit. Holly's creation has surpassed our highest expectations!
Rufus and Mary
We asked Holly to recreate part of the Sistine Chapel on our ceiling, the spark between Adam's outstretched finger and God.... So delighted were we with the result, we began to call her HollyAngelo.
- Priscilla Cogan, author
Winona's Web
In Holly's imaginative, beautifully painted Italian palatso, the colors, perspective and incredible detail are all so perfect! She even painted the other walls faux antique stucco so the whole room frames the mural.

We love out attic treehouse. It is the first thing we show any visitors to out house. While it was designed for the children, it is also an adult refuge. What a wonderful addition to our home.
