J. Howard's art is absolutely amazing. From Southwestern themes to portraiture, classic cars and everyday items, her attention to detail is superb. My personal favorites, though, are her works featuring rain. Anything featuring water is astonishing in realism. I am grateful she has chosen to share her work with the world, and cannot wait to see what comes next.

Absolutely, hands down, the most incredible artist I have seen in Texas, much less the USA. Her dedication to detail and the story behind the images are captivating! I am honored to be her friend and often times her photographer providing reference content.

J.Howard did a pastel of my father. It hangs in my hallway and reminds me on a daily basis of how blessed I am to know this artist. I love how she puts color together to express emotion and her Western Art is my favorite as a Texan.

I own one of J.Howard's Artist Proof with an original signature and it hangs in a place of honor. My favorites are her pastels representing water but I love all her art! She continues to amaze me with every new piece she creates. I am working on owning my first original soon!

J.Howard is very passionate about her work, she puts her heart and soul into each piece and it shows in the finished product. The image jumps off the canvas very vibrant and realistic. Every piece is a part of her.

Even though J. Howard is so precise; her work is far more than realism,.Her work is creative thought 🤔 too. And, with a spiritual twist that affords her the ability to honor the first and most original and enduring of all Artists. God, our creator, who put thought into every work of Art He ever did. When J. Howard expresses herself, it shows how much she's amused and amazed; even spoken to through God's amazing world in which She is, herself, an amazing artist.
She emulating her ❤️ for creating ❤️

The process...the purpose...the goal.
Drawing is the most basic and perhaps the most instinctive of all two-dimensional art forms. A drawing can serve as a preliminary sketch for a future work in another medium. Drawing can become a process of articulating an idea. Drawing can also be a complete work within itself. The variety of drawing makes it almost impossible to categorize the medium, especially when you add the variety of the types of materials artist use to produce drawings. Drawing can only be described as the most unrestrained of all medium.
Drawing can be the most direct way of bringing what is in the mind on to a chosen surface. An artist can enjoy the sheer spontaneity of drawing. When a pencil drags across a piece of paper or a pastel traces over a piece of canvas, it captures directly my thoughts and records the slightest movement of my hand. My goal is to produce a complete work of art within a sensual and rhythmic pastel drawing possessing all the detail possible in the 1970’s style referred to as Hyperrealism.
Art is often perceived as a way of detachment from reality, a key to unlocking some hidden meaning in the environment. This is not completely true for art genres like Hyperrealism, where the line between reality and art is practically erased. Hyperrealism is considered an effective advancement of Photorealism of the 1960’s, However, the newly developed style still contains some subtle differences from its predecessor. The Photorealists aimed to reproduce photographs as precisely as possible so that the human eye could not distinguish between the original and the work of art. As a Hyperrealist, the goal is to be a purist in the technique. I strive to take the technique further, developing ways to include a narrative, charm and emotion into a drawing. I never want to leave it void of “personality”.
