Howe had her first exhibition in New York at White Columns in 1987.  While in Buffalo she served as the Curator of Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center (1984-88), a legendary artist-run space started by Cindy Sherman and Robert Longo. Arriving in New York in the meat packing district in 1989, Howe became an Associate Director of White Columns until 1995.  She emerged as an artist while in this creative non profit milieu in the early 90’s along with such artists as John Currin and Lisa Yuskavage—artists also interested in painting a new figuration.

Currently she is the Faculty Chair – Graduate Painting & Drawing at the New York Academy of Art and a full time artist. Her paintings have been exhibited extensively in solo shows internationally and appearing in numerous prominent publications that include Art in America, Los Angeles Times, The New Yorker, Artforum and The New York Times.

Having previously painted figurative works Howe’s female figures began to give way to a “purer way of making paintings where the forms emerged more spontaneously”. What results is semi-abstraction work yet they are distinctly Howe’s painterly touch. Each of the works are highly luminous, textured and richly hued in colouration.

Influenced by Dickinson’s poetry of ecstatic nature and mystery of the physical world this selection of works exhibit encaustic layers of heavy florals, light, champagne and slathering of suggested animals or hidden imagery.
