Abstract:	Lost and Found is an ongoing series of work exploring Howard’s continuing interest in spontaneous sketching, handwriting and mark making. The work centres around Howard’s own observational sketches of everyday subjects combined with her collection of found notes and drawings. Howard’s lively, vibrant sketches are joined together with the unselfconscious doodles, words and drawings she has collected - including shopping lists, discarded drawings, hastily written notes or scribbled patterns. Howard seeks to capture domestic moments in a series of works where sketches, colour, composition and pattern are combined in an intuitive expression of freedom and life. Lost and Found was a solo exhibition at the National Trust’s Quarry Bank Mill, Cheshire 1 April – 24 June 2012. International textile artist Michael Brennand-Wood opened the exhibition. Footfall reached over 5000. The exhibition was inspired by a feature about Howard’s work in Embroidery magazine titled Lost and Found by Jo Hall, Sept/Oct 2011.
