ABOUT THE ARTIST
Lauren Alyssa Howard was born and raised in a small town in Southeastern Alabama. After moving to the Atlanta area in 1996, she attended the University of Georgia, where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in drawing. Quoting her rural upbringing, Howard uses references from a particular lower-middle working-class history to address identity, gender, religion, and place. She has received multiple scholarships and awards such as the Las Damas de Arte scholarship and the Jack and Jeanne Endowment Fellowship in Art, and most recently a fellowship to the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. Her work has been exhibited nationally and has most recently been shown at Here Arts in nyc, Mammal Gallery, and the Jule Collins Smith Museum. Having found her way back to the south after receiving her master of fine arts degree from the University of South Florida and working and showing in Brooklyn, NY, she now teaches at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, GA.
