MICHELE HOWARTHMichele Howarth was born and raised in Liverpool and studied Fine Art at Leeds Polytechnic. She's had a long career as a sculptor which has been variously interrupted by caring for a poorly husband, stepchildren, aged parents and theHappy Mondays...
She has exhibited with the Nicholas Treadwell Gallery for many years, but has also taken part in group shows at The White Cube, The Hepworth and the Saatchi galleries.

In the 1990s she co-wrote 'Grope', a play based on her time working in a dating agency.

Glitterballs is her debut novel. Read More Read Less
