Howard (1919-1998) was born in New York to parents who had immigrated to the United States from England and Belgium. After her mother died when she was a child, she lived with her maternal aunt's family. She lived and worked in New York, studying for many years at the Art Students League and producing printed works at Atelier 17 from 1952-54. She executed structured still lifes, portraits and scenes of everyday life, which sometimes show the influence of Surrealism.
