Ghislaine Howard (b.1953) Howard’s work is highly original, expressive and full of passion. Ghislaine’s ability to convey her emotions, and capture sentiments in her work, almost makes her paintings become living moments. Her work is both rich and subtle, expressive but perfectly judged, at times dark but always hopeful, visionary but compassionate. These contradictions make the work hugely powerful. The skill and originality is evident in her work, giving each piece a voice making it stand out in many a prestigious venue. This authenticity is never more evident than when observing her subject matter – a documentation of personal experience, family life, a mother’s work, empathy towards passers-by. There is a great Patriarchal tradition of Western Art and such subject matters are innovative in art, even in the 21st Century!

Ghislaine Howard was named as Woman of The Year in 2008 for her contribution to art and society. She first came to public attention with her ground-breaking exhibition (and Residency) concerning pregnancy and birth, the first of its kind, at Manchester City Art Gallery, ‘A Shared Experience’ the exhibition attracted much critical acclaim. The subject matter was perfectly fitting for an artist, pregnant for the first time who concentrates on personal experience.
