About the Artist/Owner
"Thomas Howa worked in the construction industry for more than 20 years before becoming an artist in the early 1990s. Since switching to art full time, he has gained representation with multiple galleries in the Western United States and participated in a number of exhibitions in the Salt Lake Valley. While he maintains important ties to the Salt Lake art scene, he sees Bountiful as a distinct market for showcasing Utah’s talented artists.
'Supporting the artists is crucial to me,” he said. “I understand how it is as an artist myself.'
Howa represents 36 artists who vary significantly in style, medium, and technique. The majority of these artists are well known in the Salt Lake art scene and keen to branch out into what they perceive as the interesting new terrain of Davis County.
Howa’s optimism and enthusiasm is infectious as he remarks often about the thrill of working with Utah artists: 'Utah has a solid base of artistic talent, and I think it is admired and it’s growing. I feel very fortunate to have the roster we have.'"
