Jonathan Howe has developed a passion for art his entire life. In 2007, he graduated from Maryville College with a Bachelors of Art and soon launched into a full-time art career painting portraits and landscapes. Beginning with several portrait commissions, he soon discovered the joy of landscape painting as a way to communicate a story with moody light, color and expressive brushwork.

He has had the privilege of creating works for private and corporate collectors across the southeast, with clients including Clayton Homes, the University of Tennessee Medical Center, Kroger, Gaylord Texan Resort, and many others. With the belief that true fine art is the result of a healthy soul coupled with a passion for excellence, his goal is that his paintings warm the heart and delight the eye.

“Each day at the easel is a new adventure in creating beauty. My goal as a painter is to capture dynamic compositions with compelling, moody light. I love the life conveyed in Plein Air painting because each work is not just a moment in time but an experience put to canvas. I enjoy a diversity of brushwork to convey color the way that our eyes see, with a variation of soft and sharp edges. Each painting is a story to be told. I use mostly brushes to work with on the canvas but also employ the pallet knife to give thick accents of impasto paint where needed.”

In 2010 he married Sarah Atchley-Howe who together as a team manage Jonathan Howe Fine Art. She and Jonathan live urban-artistically in the heart of Knoxville, Tennessee. Committed to merging art and faith in Jesus Christ, Sarah and Jonathan are active leaders in their local church, combining their talents for art and music and a heart to see others come to a saving knowledge of Christ. Other than their work, they enjoy hospitality, the outdoors and taking care of their two daughters Aidyn and Susanna and their rambunctious little Maltipoo, Amber.
