On the Fringe of Heaven Artists’ Bios

Paul Hendrick Holowack

Paul Holowack is a multi-disciplinary artist who was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. He received his diploma of Fine Arts from MacEwan University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Alberta in 2012. His work is created from an introverted mindset, evoking themes of metamorphosis and solace. Through judicious mark making, his images invite the viewer to engage with the tactile surfaces and abstracted bodily forms. His responsive approach with raw materiality and enigmatic forms drives his aesthetic and concepts. He is planning to foster his education and endeavors to apply for a Master’s Degree in Fine Art.

Currently, he works at the Society of Northern Alberta Print-Artists (SNAP gallery) as the Community Outreach Coordinator. Recently, he has been accepted into the Banff Artist in Residence Program to do a self-directed Printmaking residency at the Banff Center for the Arts for the early fall.

multi-disciplinary studio practice. Jenna continued her studies on a full scholarship at Pixel Blue College, also in Edmonton, where she received a Diploma in 3D Animation and Modeling in the spring of 2012.
