Note: Holliday is a diagnosed schizophrenic, and was the subject of an article by Deeanna Franklin, "The Art of Aaron Holliday," published in the March 2004 issue of Clinical Psychiatry News. In the article, Roger Ricco said of Holliday's works: "they're almost perfectly real and at the same time, they're almost something wrong with it, in the sense of something is not normal, and I don't mean in a medical sense, but in terms of reality. What you end up with is a picture that looks like a room, and then you realize that everything about it is strange, but beautifully and wonderfully rendered."
