Honoring
Mildred Howard

A key figure in the Bay Area art scene, Berkeley-based artist Mildred Howard is known for her stunning large-scale sculptural installations, public artworks, assemblage sculptures, and mixed media works.

Howard and David Ireland became long-lasting friends with an introduction through his role as her graduate advisor. When visiting her graduate studio, Mildred states he would be put at ease as he had a deep respect for her practice, stating, "I can finally relax." He remained encouraging of her work with advice such as "get rid of the clutter" or "paint it out." The wisdom she learned from Ireland she still passes on to artists she mentors today. Howard credits Ireland as an inspiration for a selection of her works, including Skillet to the Flying Pan: Sitting Black (2007).
