February Member Meeting
Guest Artist, Tom Howard, February 19, 6:00 pm
Born in Nevada and raised in Northern Utah, the Salt Lake Valley is now his home. Tom has worked as a paste-up artist, graphic designer, illustrator, and cartographer. He began painting full-time in 1995 after graduate school, and taught at Salt Lake Community College and BYU-Idaho.
According to Tom, his paintings and drawings are about bringing beauty found in the natural world to the view of others. ‘We can find that unique beauty if we only learn to not just 'look' but to 'see.' Even the most mundane and gray spot on earth has its moment of glory. My desire is to capture in paint as many of these moments as I can’.
