Picture
Today you can find me in Walsenburg, Colorado, where I have renovated an old building into an art studio/gallery and living space. I am sure that something crazy and creative is coming soon to this quaint, little town. Until then, I love living in a magical part of the country, with the ease to create and explore.

I am an ex-professional football coach and the son of the same, who wanted a balanced life experience.  My first art gallery, "Mother Tongue" was in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1997. In 1998, I moved to Los Angeles to explore an artists life and built my first studio in my brothers garage. It is there that I found my color sensibilities and love for paint. Without an art education or a desire for one, I was free to explore art my way with no learned boundaries.

I have traveled around the U.S. finding work as a designer, teacher, carpenter and bartender...when not in football.  Each time creating a studio space to paint and evolving as an artist as I rolled along.  While in Taos NM in 2014 I opened "The Howell Creative" and it was during that period I found Walsenburg, CO while traveling around the region.  Two years later I bought 728 Main Street and started the remodel. I have also had art galleries in Rochester - NY, Boone - NC, Tulsa - OK, both Denton and Ft. Worth - TX. Thanks a lot for Exploring, Payne.
