“My art and laughter go hand in hand.   I take great delight in taking the chaotic disorder of the creative process and applying it to transform a functional instrument of order into a piece of art.

​

By incorporating the elements of irony, humor, curiosity, remembrance, celebration, surprise, and quiet reflection it becomes an active piece of art in an individual’s daily life and the scene is set.

​

A writer uses words to create their stories, I use objects.   I find my inspirations in a myriad of places. My eye seizes on an object and “out of left field” a clock concept begins to form.   

​

My fondness for re-using items is a mixture of unending curiosity, Midwest sensibility, and an appetite that “Second time ‘round” items become part of the pallet in eliciting an emotional response.  In the end answering the basic question, “Can all of this be made into a clock that has a story?”   ~  Anna Howard
