About Michael Howley Art

Born in the North of England, Michael Howley’s atmospheric landscape paintings have been shaped by the environment in which he grew up and his emotional and spiritual response to it.

Known for his uniquely sensitive approach to soft pastel painting, Michael also draws on the qualities of oils, watercolours and acrylics to recreate a sense of the presence of nature in all her different moods.

“I like to go out early in the morning as the mists rise and the sun slowly awakes, or in the evening as it fades behind the hills, leaving only an afterglow. At these times, the atmosphere is palpable and the shift in colours and tones is so subtle. I take photographs and make sketches, and when I return to the studio, I draw upon the memory of how it felt to be present in that particular landscape.” – Michael Howley

Home is where the Art Is

Michael’s artwork can add depth to your interior by bringing nature’s moods into your home.
From the comfort of your armchair, you can feel yourself transported to another place.

In a world so full of bustle, noise and surface, Michael’s paintings can bring a sense of stillness, contemplation and depth to your home. His reflective artworks offer you ‘soulspace’, encouraging you to slow down, breathe and allow your spirit to catch up.

Allow yourself to be drawn in by the colours, tones and atmospheric layers of paint which transport you to breathtaking landscapes, skies and seas.

“When we awaken to beauty, we keep desire alive in its freshness, passion and creativity” – John O’Donohue
