Carol Newbury Howe is an extremely talented, energetic, self-taught artist known for
her love and knowledge of wildlife and nature.
Her versatility is unsurpassed
with the exception of nature itself. She is uniquely adept in all medias using
oil, acrylic, pastel, pen and ink and watercolor for her canvases and wax and
clay for her bronzes. In visiting her studio you might find her working in
pastel to capture the watchful eyes of a mother wolf protecting her pups or
using them to portray the wisdom of an old man, his face lined and framed by
the white hair that crowns his head.
Another visit would find her engulfed in
the use of clay as she forms the image of a seasoned old buffalo, his nostrils
flaring and tail raised, preparing to defend his cows from approaching wolves.
She prefers at times to use large canvases giving her the freedom to fully
express the feeling of a bull elk answering the challenge of a fringe bull.
Carol is self taught but emphasizes
that her years in her family's logging camps where she learned the habits of
black bear, deer, elk, chipmunks, camp robbers and camp intruders of every sort
were the real teachers. She also learned the discipline of hard work, which has
served her well throughout the years. Life and the care-giving of family
members for periods of years taught her patience and what was important and how
to set herself aside in the caring of others.
She is an avid fisherman,
gardener and self-proclaimed naturalist as she uses no chemical fertilizers or
sprays on or around her gallery or home. She has seen how nature responds and feels
that if each one of us would take the responsibility of making where we live safe
for ourselves and God's creatures there would be no need for large organizations
telling others how to do it.
Carol's works are collected worldwide with several collectors owning
in excess of 125 works. She was commissioned to paint two Miss America's and her fine art is
published by The Paradise Gallery. She and her gallery are located in the
Original Gateway to Yellowstone National Park, Gardiner,
Montana.
