About Marilyn Holland:
Marilyn Holland’s diverse body of work illustrates the artist’s intense interest and skill in a wide range of media. From traditional ceramics and drawings to less common crafting materials like macramé, Holland explores the possibilities within the artistic realm and pushes the envelope of fine art. Marilyn Holland is often influenced by her travels throughout the world, journeys which she documents first with her camera, and later through stylistic elements in her works of art. Holland’s visual interest lies in the way patterns, textures and colors render themselves into form and can be seen throughout her body of work, from the rough surfaces of a sculpture, to the brilliant sheen of a ceramic glaze. While originally producing artwork from a need to satisfy an inner impulse, Holland now calls on art’s emotive properties as a way to connect with her viewer.
With an extensive background in Art Education, Marilyn Holland has received numerous awards for her work as a photographer and mixed media artist. She currently resides in New Jersey.
About Altered States of Reality – an Exhibition of Analog and Digital Fine Art Photography:
Altered States of Reality provides a glimpse of the world as captured through the lens of a camera, technology, and through the artists own inner vision. The gifted artist’s participating in Altered States of Reality offer us a perception of the world, as seen, through a complex, enigmatic fusion of emotions and technical mastery. The old boundaries have come tumbling down and the new reality has been altered and is forever changing. This exciting exhibition allows us to challenge our ideas, parables and perceptions that constitute our own reality.
