Living in a World of Color and Culture

“There’s a hidden treasure at the end of a seemingly normal suburban street in that town,” she wrote. “Inside you forget you’re in Texas, let alone Duncanville.”

Artist Kelli Howie ties one of her unique ceramic flowers to a pegboard at her home which is also her studio, writes Angle.

“Although she’s traveled all over the world, just recently returning from a month long trek to New Zealand, Howie always lands back in the Dallas area, reports Angle.

Howie has been making art professionally since she was 14, she says.

“I’m the only person in the world that makes these flower sculptures,” she explains. “Before I die I want to make enough money to start an art and cultural center south of the Trinity. Texas has been good to me.”

Her house is bursting with creativity, possibility, and curiosity, according to a recent article.

“America is losing its creativityâÂ?¦because there’s no money for culture,” Howie said in the article. “I surrounded myself with other people’s art. Sculpting in clay, both synthetic and earthern, painting in oil and watercolor, and nature photography are my primary mediums.”

After earning a B.A. in theater and art from the University of Dallas, Southern Methodist University (SMU) awarded the young artist a prestigious Meadows fellowship. Invited back to the University of Dallas as the adjunct professor of costumes, for five years Howie worked with the nationally recognized team Pat and Judy Kelly.

Howie said she works to raise cultural awareness and art appreciation in the greater southwest.

She also conducts art consultation and lectures to groups available by calendar appointment. Howie Studios accepts Discover, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express cards.

Howie also has a Goddess Series with three versions of the goddess representing a live feminine form.

Also part of the studio includes Patsy’s Garden which is dedicated to Howie’s mother, Patsy Dale Moore Bennett.
