and medium are equally powerful. Holly’s work—
predominantly watercolor, large in scale and rich in
color—provides a fitting backdrop for the historical
themes she presents.”
An exhibition of her work will be shown at Somerville
Manning Gallery in Greenville, Delaware, March 12
through April 6.
Since the Renaissance, artists have painted self-
portraits. The contemporary photographer Cindy
Sherman has used herself to portray, in a way,
Everywoman, and many individual women. Brigham
has chosen the medium of watercolor to create her
images. Flack says, “First I have tried to achieve the
highest quality of technical facility possible so that
I have at my fingertips the availability to create
anything I want. Then I paint.”
Brigham’s ability with watercolor allows her to
express her ideas on the range of life from birth to
death and the timelessness of women’s experiences
through her conflation of historical creative and
adventurous women with herself.
