In November 1997, Holloway's painting "Coming Out of the wood - Seve Ballesteros" was chosen from 300 entries for the Dún Laoghaire / Rathdown Open Exhibition of 30 artists. In April 1998, two of her paintings were chosen for the Dún Laoghaire exhibition - "Asgard II" and "Dun Laoghaire Harbour". This work was singled out for special mention by the Administrator of the Crawford Gallery, Cork. His comment was "An Artist of exceptional talent". Since then Holloway has completed a number of commissions and her work is now in private collections in Ireland, Britain and America.
