Mildred Howard

American 20th-21st century sculptor and mixed media installation artist
(San Francisco, California, 1945 – )

From ArtSpace: Art critic Kenneth Baker of the San Francisco Chronicle describes Howard's practice as follows: “Mildred Howard takes full advantage of the latitude that modernism won for artists in the use of materials and expressive idioms. She has used photographs, glass, architecture, housewares and other found objects of all kinds. Because she maneuvers so freely within the conceptually soft borders of ‘installation’ work, people tend to think of her as a sculptor, but she prefers the vaguer, more open term artist.” Art in America's Leah Ollman writes: “Howard […] has worked in assemblage, collage and installation for more than a decade, but her real medium is memory, which permeates her work with vitality and poignancy.”
