Deborah Howard

Since joining the University of Denver in 1987, Deborah has inspired generations of artists and, in turn, found inspiration through teaching and collaboration with students, which she describes as the wellspring of her most meaningful work.

Deborah’s practice spans a wide range of media from ancient encaustic paint to monumental charcoal wall drawings. She blends expressive mark-making with deeply reflective themes drawn from memory and collective history. Deborah transforms familiar, everyday objects–especially worn shoes– into poetic meditations on presence, absence, and the passage of time. From her intimate portraits of Child Survivors of the Holocaust to bold abstractions, Echoes reveals Deborah’s distinctive ability to translate culture and emotion into form. The exhibition invites viewers to reflect on how art can hold memory, connect generations, and bear witness to the beauty and complexity of the human story.

Echoes

Echoes presents a range of artworks by Deborah Howard. The exhibition is on view from January 15 through March 15, 2026.
