Ms. Holtz’s career as an educator started in 2008 when she became an Adjunct Instructor at Jefferson College teaching various art studio courses along with art history. From 2008 and continuing today, she serves as an Adjunct Instructor at St. Charles Community College. From 2010 to 2017 she also took on the role of Art Gallery Coordinator for the Fine Arts Gallery on the St. Charles Community College campus.

In her not-so-spare time, she is a part-time stay at home mom to her two small children who have greatly inspired the current direction of her artwork and her dedication to the Mothers-As-Professional-Artist movement.
