Jennifer Howard Artist bio I am a painter and graphic designer who has lived and worked in Washington, DC for over 37 years. I have won awards including “best of show” in 2024 for the Rockville Art League juried show. I have exhibited in local DC, MD and VA galleries including ongoing work at Gallery 209 in Rockville, MD and a two person show at Gallery B in Bethesda in 2022. My work has been purchased by collectors across the US. My paintings are about the moment, the immediacy of paint applied honestly, thickly and emotionally on canvas. I strive to convey a textural quality to the surface with layers of color and an emphasis on capturing light. My plein air and studio paintings are based on many local scenes and places I have connected to in the region and while traveling. I have always loved to spend time outside so much of my work in based on nature in all its glory! Jennifer Howard
