2024 - "Second Street" by Aurilla Holt

Aurilla Holt owns many posters of Old Hallowell Days, but she never thought one would be her own work.

Her initial reactions were feeling honored, thrilled, and humbled. She loves painting pictures of buildings, especially the beautiful ones in Hallowell. She immediately knew she would paint the houses on Second Street.
To get the proper perspective with a photograph, she climbed to the third floor of City Hall.

Aurilla is a self-made artist, but credits Bob Ross as her mentor. She is a lifelong Hallowell resident. For an art class at Hall-Dale High School, she painted a mural that is still on display at the Post Office.  Today, she and her husband John own Berry and Berry Floral. Aurilla feels Hallowell is a very welcoming city with a lot to offer. The Old Hallowell Day Committee is overwhelmed by the beauty of this year’s poster. Many thanks to Aurilla Holt.
