Mildred Howard's exhibition Selective Memories opened at the Fresno Art Museum on September 26 and runs through January 4, 2015.

"Howard's works are a constant interchange between formalism and content as she becomes more committed to the process of retrieval-selecting and working with repurposed materials to capture and peel back the layers that form her ideas and inform the embedded stories that she pushes forward, conscious of the layering of time and how time brings historical perspective to life."

Howard is the recipient of Fresno Art Museum's 2014 Distinguished Woman Artist award. Since 1988 the museum's Council of 100 has presented the award to internationally recognized women artists who have spent thirty or more years in the studio and have created a unique and prestigious body of work.

Mildred was OS3's Visiting Artist. See more of her work at gallerypauleanglim.com.

Oxbow was, without a doubt, the best part of my high school experience. A year after leaving, and I still feel as though it were yesterday that I was sitting on the lawn, eating in the dining hall, and laughing with my friends in the studios.

Our daughter graduated summa cum laude from NYU with a double major in Studio Art and Art History. She is now working for Calvin Klein. She is contemplating getting a law degree and pursuing a career repatriating art objects. She still keeps in touch with several of her Oxbow classmates and they have regular reunions in Manhattan... I would say that Oxbow was the best semester that any of my four children spent in their cumulative 16 years of high school. Our daughter was the right kid, and for the right kid you do a wonderful job. You changed her life. Thank you.

Oxbow gave Will a voice and a community. Under the nurturing attention of his wonderful teachers, he learned that he had the intellectual capability to express himself and that his unique point of view was, in fact, an asset.
