About the painter

"Holly Alderman is passionate and knowledgeable about the modern and post-modern in art, committed to conceptualize new forms that arise only from the present" -- Elatia Harris, in 3QD, interview with the artist

"Holly Alderman's work is a wonderful combination of modern and post-modern, as she creatively combines past and present, giving us multi-layered views of diverse worlds, that include the Renaissance, the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Her view if refreshing, poignant, and magical." -- Katherine Hoffman, ph.D., Chair of Fine Arts, St. Anselm College

"Holly Alderman's art combines serious purpose, wit and whimsy in an engaging alchemy. In the multi-layered images of the 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 of dotted lights march in front, as if into the future. The effect is visually stunning and thought-provoking." -- Diana Wolfe Larkin, Ph.D., Art Historian
