ARTIST STATEMENT
"Art is something I have never placed in a vacuum, a clear bubble holding all things to be experienced from afar - it's impossible.
 Everything around me is art and if I believe that then all that is in me is art. I'm not one to just paint or sculpt apples or oranges, art is not about the ideas one may have, but about what we do with the ideas to make them an artistic reality.   
I find pleasure in a landscape, the human form, and all the wonders that have been made by the hands of man.  
It is so important for me to keep my artistic spirit fed and to do that I have to be aware of all things, not looking only at the whole of something but take the sum in order to see the fullness of our creations.
Art is that fragment that helps to make my life whole."

ARTIST BIO 
Realist, Joe F. Howard was born in a small town in Tennessee and reared in Columbus, OH. He has an innate artistic ability that was discovered early in life. Throughout his childhood, his hands were always working on some creative art form. An accomplished painter, today his tremendous visions and abilities speak to all through the mellifluous movement of his paintings and visceral texture of his beautifully crafted bronze sculptures. Because of Howard's breathtaking paintings and sculptures, this master of multiple media has been referred to as a modern day Michelangelo. 
Joe Howard became an artist over his father's staunch objections. He wanted his four sons to be successful. The prosperous blacks he knew were doctors and lawyers and he wanted his sons to become one or the other. He was so adamant that when Joe, his first born, chose art school, he refused to support his education. But Howard won a four-year scholarship to Columbus College of Art & Design* 
Since graduating from Columbus College of Art & Design Joe's works have been exhibited throughout the United States and Europe. He has been creating art for numerous private and commercial clients such as Ronald McDonald House, the State of Ohio, Mount Carmel, the late author Alex Haley, Xerox, Ohio State University Cultural Center, Liebert Corporation, Hydroplane Inc. Dave Thomas (Wendy's) and country music legend, Conway Twitty to name a few.
