Frank Howell had been drawing since he was a young child and painted for over thirty years.

Born in Sioux City, Iowa in 1937, Howell felt a strong connection to his Lakota Sioux heritage.  Whether he was painting a Native American profile or landscape, his lyrical interpretations employ a visual representation of the wind as it sweeps across time

past, present and future.  Howell viewed these images as universal symbols, a kind of mythology.

Howell was one of the few artists that became important as a painter and also recognized as a master lithographer and printer.  Howell also worked in other media including monotypes, lithographs, watercolors, oils, drawings, sculpture and acrylic.  His knowledge of the different mediums, his skills as a draftsman, and above all, his ability to communicate the harmony in man's strength, sensitivity and unending spiritual significance were among the reasons for the overwhelming popularity of his work.

His work has been widely exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the United States, Mexico, Australia and Europe.  His work is in numerous private and corporate collections.  Howell and his paintings have also been the subject of over 100 magazine and newspaper articles, television profiles and documentaries.
