Holzer’s work revolves around a fetus-like character named "PinkBoy", That is a self-portrait; a personal avatar; a depiction of childhood. Her work explores themes concerning interpersonal relationships, loneliness and reality, through the use of childlike imagery. The paintings are an escape from existence; the intention being to take the viewer into a make-believe virtual world.
