Art Reach is proud to host an exhibition of the paintings of Carole Howard in our Gallery from now through
April 30. Her professional career has included 6 years in public school
teaching in St. Joseph and Benton Harbor and 20 in the Physical Education
Department at CMU. During those years she raised 6 children and took as many
art classes as time allowed. After the last child went to college she took up
painting as a serious discipline, focusing mainly on watercolor but experimenting
with acrylic, collage, and other water-media. To learn more advanced
techniques, which resulted in many successful paintings, Carole has studied
with Zoltan Szabo, Helga Flower, Gordon McKenzie, Norma Gray, and Fran Larsen.
She states, “I enjoy the magic of watercolor with its’ constant ever-changing
happy accidents. My favorite topics are landscapes done in both realistic and
abstract. Humor, surprise, color, drama, and mystery are components of my
work.” She has also volunteered her time for the Day With the Artists program,
helped begin our Native American Art program in 1986, which celebrates the art
of the Saginaw-Chippewa Tribe and served as a Docent for the program in area
schools.
There was a fine reception in the Gallery for this fine artist on
April 5, from 5-7 p.m.
