This year’s button incorporates artwork by Ekua Holmes, a painter and collage artist who uses vibrant color and skillful composition to infuse her work with energy. Her layered, abstract creations convey a sense of unity and evoke memories that are both personal and universal. An active member of Boston’s art community for over 30 years, her body of work includes paintings, drawings and mixed media collage, which has become her signature medium. She is a native of Roxbury, and a graduate of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. You can see some of her work at www.ekuaholmes.com
