Dary Howard — After receiving her BFA from Sam Houston State University in 1970, Howard lived and taught art at an overseas school in Tokyo, Japan from 1971 to 1975. During this time Howard was introduced to a private collection of 18th and 19th century Ukiyo-e woodcuts. Feeling an immediate connection to the works of art and wanting to learn more about the woodblock printmaking process, she embarked on an apprenticeship with Master printmaker Hodaka Yoshida. By the time she left Japan, Howard had become proficient in the medium, well on her way to perfecting the painstaking demands of carving and printing. Returning to the states she entered graduate school in 1976 at the University of Texas at Austin.
