ZENA STETKA
HOWE
 Zena
Stetka Howe was born in Pilzen, Czechoslovakia and grew up under the
artistic influence of her uncle, an accomplished painter and
sculptor. She received her early education in Litomerice,
Czechoslovakia, taking advanced studies in Latin and foreign
languages.
Before coming to the United States in 1975, Howe worked as a film
editor for Czechoslovak TV in Prague. She later attended the Fashion
Institute of Technology in New York.
Although proficient in painting, printmaking and photography, her
passion is assemblage. A pair of worn out rubber boots, a broken
shovel or old car parts are the kind of things that are given new
life in Howe’s studio. They are metaphors for the second chance she
believes every human being deserves.
"People are amazed when they see something simple, such as an old
part of machinery or a piece of driftwood or beautiful stones placed
into an artwork. They are shocked at the beauty of everyday things.
I believe that is the responsibility of an artist to share their
talent and to enrich and educate through their art. It is a great
accomplishment when this happens."
