Holzer studied drawing and printmaking at the Ohio University, where she graduated 1972 and completed her studies with a master degree at the Rhode Iceland School of Design in 1977. In the same year she also began using the font and the text as a medium of her art. Holzer positioned the realization of ideas in public space at the center of her creative process. Thus, street posters, LED lights, benches, stickers, clothing and the internet are part of her works. In the early 1990s she chose to use a garden in Nordhorn to create an 'anti- memorial' against the war and National Socialism. Her most famous art work is titled 'Truisms', which is a series of statements and slogans on various items such as phone booths, street posters, building facades and others.
