the art of Joel Howard
In addition to writing poetry, stories and songs, Joel Howard has been painting and drawing since childhood. His paintings have been featured and sold in art shows throughout the South Jersey region. In 2010 and 2011, Joel was invited to various concerts and events to paint live on stage during acts such as Building 429, Beckah Shae, Addison Road, and more. Influenced by abstract impressionists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Joel has used color and form in painting to convey the same themes as his songs and poems explore; such as sorrow, lament, praise and prayer. His paintings and sketches have been featured in many of his books, CD's as well as lyric and music videos.
