Michael Howley Artist: Contact

Born in Burnley, Lancashire in 1964, I became a professional Artist in 1987 having trained at Lincolnshire College of Art. Favouring the medium of soft pastels, my paintings reflect a love and fascination for those atmospheric moments in landscape that pass so quickly but leave a lasting impression. Whether painting the rising mists of dawn, the golden glow of sunset, or the drama of a snowstorm, my aim is to capture a sense of the atmosphere at the time. More recently, inspired by artists such as Whistler and Rothko, I have been experimenting with mood paintings where I have simplified the subject matter and enlarged the scale.

I have had a number of Exhibitions in Galleries across the North of England and my limited edition prints have brought my work to a wider audience. I enjoy sharing my skills with others and have been a resident artist at Galleries in Skipton and Clitheroe as well as running a number of Community Arts Workshops

Having taught Art and Design at Nelson and Colne College for 12 years, I have recently worked at St Marys College, Blackburn, where I delivered an Art Enhancement programme. I continue to demonstrate my painting techniques to Art Societies as well as running art workshops and I am looking forward to developing my work further through Art & Soul.
