She received a BA in Art from University of Oregon, an MFA in Painting from Brooklyn College and has been to Reggio Emelia, Italy to study the Reggio Approach. She has been an artist in residence at the Millay Colony in upstate New York, Skowhegan School of Art in Maine, and New Urban Arts in Providence. Her collaborative work has been published in "River Styx 56, the visual word", "Resurgence Magazine", The Penland Book of Handmade Books, and Community Performance, An Introduction. She has received grants from The Michigan State Council on the Arts, Bronx Council for the Arts, Rhode Island Sate Council on the Arts, and a New Works Grant from The Rhode Island Foundation. Her work has been honored with an education award from the Rhode Island Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission and a Clearwater Award from The Waterfront Center in Washington DC. She is a founding member of Voices and Visions of Village Life an organization that initiates and supports creative humanities/arts projects with adults and children in Pawtuxet Village and other communities.

As a community artist her main goal is to enable others to explore, reflect on and visually respond to personal stories and share those with others. Her community practice continues to evolve -- from teaching in a variety of settings, to a process she calls visual dialogue and recently to public art. For the past four years her community projects have been collaborations with folklorist Michael Bell focusing on Pawtuxet Village where they both live. The exploration of sites such as Pawtuxet Village as spaces with multiple layers of history and human relationship with the natural environment is part of her ongoing research for artwork.HolyEwaldIinstallationViewAtWMOA.jpg (95997 bytes)
