Hi, I'm a Brooklyn based painter who grew up in Richmond, Va. I received my BFA from VCU in Communication Arts & Design before moving up to NYC for a MA from NYU in Studio Art/Painting. I've been creating work on commission and painting custom murals for over a decade. I also work with designers in the film and TV business as a scenic artist, USA Local 829. I have a licensed collection of art with Oopsy Daisy Fine Art for Kids. I also have a large collection of reproductions available to rent from Picture Clear Art to film/TV production. In addition, I'm working on series of designs for home decor, fabric companies, gift & stationery and art for the children's market. I welcome the opportunity to illustrate picture books and I'm working on some stories of my own. Overall, my art reflects my interest in the wonders of nature, often from the vantage point of small curious animals. I'm inspired by color, friendship, a sense of home, retro designs and the beauty of florals and animals.
Contact me for illustration commissions, art licensing, custom work or to purchase an original painting. I sell a selection of prints and products in my online shop - Society6.com/AllynHoward I stay pretty busy, but this is what I most love to do. I feel very lucky! See the latest, plus works in progress on Instagram. Thanks for stopping by :)
