As an artist, designer, and as an illustrator of children’s literature, she has become a keen observer of her environment and repeatedly chooses it as her subject matter.  Her work features memories and contemporary subjects, often children, infused in the layers of her collages. Voices from the past can be found in scraps of vintage wallpapers, snippets of yesterday’s news and pieces of discarded costume jewelry, laid upon fields of primary colors and multiple textures. Holmes uses these elements to bring a fresh approach to universal subjects encompassing family, childhood, relationships, hope and faith. "Collage is a profound means of expression, merging my personal journey with broader narratives, as I navigated the complexities of grief, artistic discovery, and the environments that shaped my formative years. Through collage I found a way to piece together a fractured world, with a goal to transform remnants of the past into a cohesive and meaningful present." — Ekua Holmes “Voice of Freedom, Fannie Lou Hamer: Spirit of the Civil Rights Movement,” was released in 2015 featuring illustrations by Holmes in her debut publishing project. In 2016 the book garnered a Caldecott honor, a Sibert honor, and a Boston Globe Horn Book Award. In addition Holmes won the Society of Illustrators Silver medal and the Coretta Scott King John Steptoe award for New Talent. In 2018 and 2019 “Out of Wonder: Poets Celebrating Poets,” and “Stuff of Stars” featuring Holmes’ illustrations garnered back to back Coretta Scott King Illustrator Awards. This new platform is nurtured by and contributes to her studio practice. Holmes is also the founder and lead artist of the Roxbury Sunflower Project, now in its 7th year. The project is a collective community installation which distributes free sunflower seeds as well as invites residents, organizations and businesses to plant and nurture sunflower gardens in and around Roxbury as elegant symbols of the community’s deep roots, resilience, and radiance. Currently Holmes directs MassArt’s sparc! the ArtMobile, pursuing a mission to “ignite art and design in the neighborhood.” Autumn Allen writes books for children and teens, and wears many other hats in the world of children’s literature.

Autumn is a Kweli alumna and has received fellowships from the New York Public Library, the Associates of the Boston Public Library, and the Highlights Foundation. As a senior editor at Barefoot Books, Autumn acquires and develops picture books and board books. As an educator, she has taught literature, writing and publishing to children, teens and adults, and has served on the faculty at Kweli, the Highlights Foundation, Grub Street, and the Harvard Graduate School of Education. As a consultant, she creates educator’s guides and gives workshops on selecting and using diverse books and discussing race and social justice with young people. Autumn holds an MA-MFA in children’s literature and writing for children from Simmons University, a master’s degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, where she studied cultural psychology, and a BA in literature from Yale. In her scholarship and in her practice as an author, editor, educator, and consultant, she is interested in young people’s literature as a tool of cultural transmission and as a site of cultural transformation. The Hellerstein Literary Reading and Lecture Series is organized by MassArt’s Humanities Department; it was established in 2006 with gifts from family and friends of Professor Marjorie Hellerstein (1924-2005) who was a longtime MassArt faculty member and Chair of the then Critical Studies Department in the 1980s. The Hellerstein Series brings some of the finest living authors, poets, and literary critics and engages the MassArt community in conversation with them. In 2025, collaborators include MassArt’s Creative Writing Minor, sparc! the ArtMobile, and Godine Library, including support from the Office of Institutional Advancement, the Center for Art and Community Partnerships (CACP), and the President’s Office.

The transformation is propelled by other paradigm shifts in art and education, most notably the turn to equitable and culturally responsive teaching and socially engaged art and design. Craft in the Real World contributes to MassArt’s understanding of these trends and opportunities, and their roots in the relationship between craft and the world, culture and identity. The program explores these key questions:&nbsp; What is craft? Is it something we do, something we learn, something we are born into? How do artists, designers, creative writers and other craftspeople understand the acquisition of skill, the history of their media and the production of their work?&nbsp; What is the relationship between craft and culture? How do language, (dis)location, and translation shape the subject and process of learning?&nbsp; How does our students’ understanding of craft shape their critique experience? Which craft practices and perspectives on craft will thrive at MassArt in the college’s next 150 years? This collaborative event is led by Studio Foundation's Brant Gallery and Humanities' Creative Counterpoints and Creative Writing Minor. Sponsors of the program include the Office of Academic Affairs, and the Office of Justice, Equity, and Transformation (JET).&nbsp;
