They have been shown in many areas of the West, featured in magazine articles, and are a part of several art collections. Howe has an ingrained love of artistic materials: rough paper, the dry feeling of charcoal and pastel, and the flow of paint over a prepared surface. The texture of nature is forever fascinating to Howe who reads about the lives and processes of other artists in order to understand herself. She is fascinated by the feeling of light permeating a landscape, also the adjacent colors reflected into the shadows of a white shirt or building. Seeing the “light go on” in a student’s eyes as I teach them how to see color in a cloud absolutely makes my day. Making art is a celebration of life, and I am glad to be a part of it,” says, Howe. Many of her finished paintings will be accompanied by her sketches. The exhibit will feature both her pastels and oils. Don’t miss The Glowing Landscape exhibit on the Main Floor Gallery. The Mezzanine and Legacy Galleries will feature Visionscapes: Vanishing Rock Art Sites of the West by Diane Orr during the same time period. On October 28 at 1pm, Diane Orr will give an Art Conversation at the St. George Art Museum that is open and free to the public. The Third Thursday of November (11/16) will be a Free Day and will also feature a 7pm Art Conversation with Colleen Howe on her Glowing Landscape paintings.
