Career

Howell was the co-curator and the workshop facilitator of The Dark Woods, a national exhibition and workshop that toured around Australia about the country’s comic book art from 2002 to 2006[4]. Howell was the producer of the Gravity Project from 2007 to 2009, a blog documents outdoor and online writing, art, performance and games occurring in Northern Tasmania[4]. From 2009 to 2010, she was the director of the National Young Writers’ Festival in Australia, a festival showcasing the works of "young and innovative writers in both new and traditional forms"[4]. In August 2011, Howell was one of eight Melbourne cartoonists to participate in a month residency project at Federation Square called ‘Inherent Vice’, where artists worked to create their pieces and the public could observe them doing so[5]. As a result, in 2012, Howell became a founding member of Squishface Studio, where the same process was applied[5]. Also in 2012, she participated in the Caravan of Comics with nine others—a convoy of comic book artists that toured in America to promote Australian comic art[6].
