Maureen Howles
Watercolor, oil, monotype are the mediums used by Santa Fe artist Maureen Howles to produce images varying in style from subjective naturalism to the semi-abstract. Shapes and colors of the southwestern deserts provide inspiration for the oil paintings, which tend to take an exploratory approach with improvised color and simplification of form. The watercolors are generally approached in the more disciplined tradition of naturalism, with images drawn from the expansive landscapes of the American West.
