Style
Hierholzer painted using a variety of styles throughout her career. Her early paintings, from the 1950s through the early 1960s, were typically expressive, figurative, often sensuous depictions of people and places. From the mid-1970s, after her first marriage ended in divorce, Hierholzer painted primarily geometric, abstract images, and from the 1980s increasingly focused on colorful, dynamic representations of industry and technology. Her technology- and industry-themed paintings were her most widely received, being procured for private, public and corporate collections, including NASA, Exxon, Car Zeiss, Schindler Elevator, and Westinghouse.
