Holly Suzanne Rader, born in Bristol, TN, currently resides and works in Passaic, NJ. She embarked on her fine arts career as a classically-trained portrait painter, later transitioning into a sculptor and mixed media artist. Her artistic exploration spans a wide array of materials, encompassing acrylic, photo collage, wax, resin, paper mache, sequins, glitter, and even candy. Rader’s artistic fascination gravitates toward subject matter reminiscent of vintage glamour.
In her works, vibrant drops of paint, glitter-enhanced photos, and high gloss finishes intricately weave a captivating tapestry of color and texture, encapsulating the essence of her creations. Whether on canvas or in sculpture, her art exudes a playful essence of the feminine spirit.
Rader’s artistic contributions extend beyond her gallery work, as she has left her mark on public spaces and cities around the world. Her artwork graces various locations, including 3 World Trade Center in New York, NY, Asbury Park and Montclair in New Jersey, Apt and Lacoste in France, Savannah and Atlanta in Georgia, Hong Kong in China, and Oslo in Norway.
