As a longtime member of Valley Art Gallery, Howard has obtained a PHOTO COURTESY OF AMY GERBER sizable following of fans who are impressed with her keen eye for color and composition. And perhaps her distance from the frantic pace of social media and the instant gratification of online interactions is what makes her work so special. She’s always been patient and practiced with her work, even when she began years ago. When Howard and her husband first moved to Arnold, California, a neighbor approached her and asked if she’d like to join an art class with her. Howard enthusiastically agreed. “I had dabbled in a lot of things at that point,” she said. “We had just moved to that town. I went and it just took, big time.” She started painting birds, a subject near and dear to her heart. Her uncle was Harvey Fisher, a well-known ornithologist. Fisher published numerous technical books and papers on birds, including studies on the albatrosses of Midway Island in the Pacific. In 1955, Fisher became chair of the Department of Zoology at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. JAN’S FANS: Jan Howard has grown a following as a local artist in the Santa Maria Valley. The That was around the time a young Howard took an interest in her uncle’s landscape and still life painter is featured in a solo show at Valley Art Gallery in Orcutt through Nov. 30. meticulous studies of birds. “It was just a natural thing for me to take off from what I’d learned from Best in Show, a pleasant surprise for him,” Howard said. “I just enjoyed it.
