Artwork by Steven Howe- reception
Artwork by Steven Howe- reception
Join local artist Steven Howe for a reception for his new art exhibit, on display at The LAVA Center through May. artist’s statement: The landscape has always captivated me. The combination of colors, shapes and textures can evoke a powerful emotional response. Unlike photography, painting allows me the freedom to create my own color palette. I tend not to work from photo references but rather create my own imaginary landscape. The addition of paper collage helps to add depth and shapes to the composition. I enjoy trying various techniques and tools for applying paint. It is often when experimenting that I discover new and exciting results. I primarily use wood panels for my work as it allows me to scratch or sand between layers and expose what is underneath. I have been painting for 5 years now and am self taught. It has been an amazing journey of discovery and I can’t wait to see what lies ahead. I am a native of Western MA, having only left the area when I enlisted in the Navy. While in the Navy I was trained in photography at the Naval School of Photography. I have found that painting and photography complement one…
