Howard is passionate about this message, and, particularly, about sharing stories of hope and healing through paintings inspired by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Born and raised in Mesa, Howard studied illustration at Brigham Young University. He worked in the video game industry for more than 20 years, painting dragons, trolls or scenes from science fiction. With additional study in Italy, France and at the Grand Central Academy in New York, and prompted by his own testimony, he has expanded his subject matter to create inspirational pieces.
