Artist Statement:  I have been thinking about doing something with marbles for a long time! I combined the marbles for humor with paintings of Marblehead's much-loved buildings, so much the essence of Marblehead.

Artist Biography:  Holly graduated from the Vesper George School of Art in Boston and worked as an art director in advertising for many years before changing the course of her life. She has a BFA in Painting and Photography from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and her master's degree in Expressive Therapies from Lesley University.

Holly works in the arts, teaching as an expressive therapist and as a workshop leader using the arts for healing, recovery, and celebration across the lifespan. She is the photographer for the book The Dames: Honoring the Good Women of Farrell Court, Powder House Court and Roads School, Marblehead, Massachusetts 01945. Holly is a mixed media artist working in collage, assemblage, photography, and painting. She started painting Marblehead's surroundings when she moved to the town 22 years ago. The first building she painted was the King Hooper Mansion, home of the Marblehead Arts Association and seen on the Marblehead Arts Association postcard. Holly maintains Muse Art Studio in Salem, MA, where she offers painting and drawing classes for all ages.
