Well-known for his Norman Rockwell Museum art workshops and narrated painting and drawing demonstrations, Dan Howe is a contemporary realist painter and illustrator, and has created artworks for publishers, corporations, public institutions, and private collectors. He broke into the art field in publishing, and later studied painting with the Golden Age illustrator Tom Lovell. Howe has taught at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, where he also studied, and was an associate lecturer for the University of Wisconsin. Characterized by a strong focus on the structural patterns and atmospheric effects created by light and shadow, Howe’s art employs rich tonal harmonies and dramatic perspectives to establish a sense of illusionistic reality.
