About the Artist

 
         J. Howard has always been an artist. Her artistic journey began when she was a child in Houston, Texas, showing an early talent for drawing and painting. She is acclaimed for her vitality of colors, strength of composition and variety of subject matter. She creates vivid animated characteristics using the hyper realistic styling developed in the 1960’s that shows the viewer what the camera lens sees rather than that of the human eye in every subject matter. Her talent expands into drawing colorful landscapes, vibrant still life, life-like portraits with an amazing understanding of storytelling, often incorporating an image within an image. Recently, her love for drawing in soft pastels has won her honors nationally and internationally.
 
         Howard was selected as a permanent member of the Southern Artist Group in 2016, a unique group of diverse talent representing the southern states of the U.S.  She was selected to be one of 10 women chosen for a national show at the Custom House Museum in Clarksville, TN entitled “Women Painting Women”in 2017 and has been the recipient of numerous top awards, including Hunting Art Prize Top Finalist receiving a Purchase Award, National Emerging Artist 2017, International Photorealist 2017, Best Of Show Cowboy True 2017, 5 time American Art Award 2017,  ACA Gallery Award and Purchase Award 2017, Western Art Rodeo Association 2018, Western Art Rodeo Gallery Award 2018, Platform Artist of the Year Finalist 2018, Best and Most Inspirational Contemporary Artist of 2020.
 
         Recently selected from a highly competitive field for the American Women Artists national Museum show in 2022, Howard has excelled in her medium. Her solo exhibitions in galleries and museums include Showing Off at the Factory Gallery 2016, National Emerging Artist solo exhibit 2017 St. Charles, a one-person retrospective; Saulsbury Gallery 2017, Western Art Museum Featured Artist/Autumn Trails/Chisholm Trails Feature 2019, Gift of the Arts Ann Arbor 2019,  NAVE Museum Solo 2020, Adobe Western Art Gallery Resident, 1820 House Resident Artist, Your Private Collection Gallery Resident Artist, Barnard’s Mill Art Museum Resident Artist, Edom Art Emporium Resident Artist and a retrospective of graphic expression in pastels at the Custom House Museum in 2021.
