For Tim Howe, no boundaries exist between
impressionism and abstraction. His contemporary
interpretation of landscapes incorporates a
dramatic use of color and texture. His landscapes
seem to exist outside the frame, stretching beyond
the actual canvas. With vivid accents and lively
vigorous brushstrokes, Howe searches for new
ways to present familiar subjects.
As a landscape artist, Howe is inspired to paint
what he sees in nature. Drawing upon his
experience as a graphic artist, Howe often thinks of
images as either positive or negative shapes and
isolates the most important colors. He interprets
nature’s shapes and images on canvas in a
bolder, more graphic way … at times using
exaggerated forms and colors for maximum effect.
Howe believes that having art surround us, as
nature does, is a critically important aspect of our
lives. “It’s important to me that art remains an
equalizer in society … available to all … exclusive
to none,” Howe says.
A graduate of the Wellington School of Design, in
Wellington, New Zealand, Howe studied a variety of
disciplines including fine art, illustration, graphic
design, photography and printmaking. After
graduation, he immigrated to the United States and
established a design studio in San Diego. After
traveling throughout the United States and Europe,
Howe gave up his thriving design practice in San
Diego to become a full-time fine artist. He has
spent extended periods of time painting from
studios in Barcelona, Spain and Vancouver Island,
Canada, in addition to his home studio in San
Diego.
