Press Release Body =
"I can\'t paint my ocean wave art fast enough to keep up with demand. It is a great
position to be in for an artist," states Ashton Howard.
"As a surfer I know what it is like to ride a wave and experience the feeling of
being in a tunnel of water. Through my art I want to capture and project the
feeling in that split second before the wave breaks."
Through the use of oils and heavily bodied acrylics, Ashton Howard builds layers of
dimension and texture on canvas.
Many of his other works are extremely unique in that, he has subtly hand pressed sea
shells and corals, collected from his travels, into the texture to create a very
special and organic-like connection with the ocean.
Inspired by far-away places, he has a strong passion for travel and enjoys searching
for new tropical settings. Reef point breaks, tropical landscapes and exotic islands
are many of his subjects.
His landscapes have a calming effect on most people. He paints \"moods\", late
evening, early morning, impressions of silence and times of quiet reflection, a
feeling of solitude you experience when it is just you and the ocean.
"My surf art is like looking at a single frame from a surfing movie. But rather
that just watching the movie, I want the viewer to get the sensation that we are
actually riding the wave together," concludes Howard.
