1 Comment on “Asphalt Gardens – George Howard”

  1. Joan Ingoldsby Brown (1932–2012) was a Cooper Union graduate. From her obituary:

    Joan designed everything from Holly Sugar packets to baseball billboards. […] Among a long list of her creations is the Palo Alto Unified School System Image and Logo. Her creative artist skills have helped build many successful, nationally-known Bay Area companies. An accomplished photographer, she exhibited many professional images in black and white, thematically protesting man’s destruction of the world’s animal habitats with trash and pollution. […] She loved progressive jazz, classical music, Irish dancing and bluegrass, and delighted being around people who cared about art.
