About
Rachel Howard grew up on a farm in Easington, County Durham. She attended a Quaker school from the age of sixteen, and the stories, concerns and questions raised by religion have had a profound effect on her work throughout her career.[1]
Howard graduated from Goldsmiths College, London, in 1991
She was awarded the Princes Trust Award in 1992 to support her art practice and received the British Council Award in 2008 and in 2004 was shortlisted for the Jerwood Drawing Prize.[2]
In 2008 Howard designed the front cover for The Big Issue.[3]
Howard is represented by BlainSouthern in the UK and Galería Sala Pelaires, Spain.
While Howard more recently employs oil paint, from 1995 - 2008 she primarily used household paint.
Howard allows the paint to separate inside its can so that the pigment and varnish can be used in isolation. The pigment is applied to the edge of the canvas, then diluted and manipulated through the addition of the varnish. Gravity’s pull then draws the paint down the canvas.[1]
