"My best paintings are always the ones that are hardest for me to surround with words. For this show, I’ve purposely tried to not overthink the images I’m creating, or to get too wrapped up in creating rationale. It’s my way of getting “Perfectly Lost” in the creative process. As always, I’m interested in exploring psychological states among my subjects, but this time I’m allowing free associations among the image references to just see where that goes. Naturally, that has led down a more surrealistic, dreamlike path where there are interesting complexities for me to explore. "

@MarkPennerHowell is a featured artist in our current exhibition PERFECTLY LOST, on view now through January 17, 2026. The gallery is free and open to the public Tues-Sat, 11AM-5PM.

Quick recap of PERFECTLY LOST, an exhibition that beckons us back to our innate curiosity - a call to explore freely and rediscover wonder in the everyday.

Through installation, paintings, and mixed media, six artists reflect on how our environment can gently shape us, offering a space for healing, inspiration, and transformation. Rooted in the richness of the natural world and guided by a deep sensitivity of color and material, their work evokes moments suspended beyond time and place - inviting us to slow down and simply be.

This group exhibition features the work of Holly Wong, Sharon Strasburg, Sara Pittman, Ana Zanic, Eileen Roscina, and Mark Penner Howell

Friday fun! We resonated with this @markpennerhowell piece titled “overthinker”. We all do it. What do you do to quiet the chatter? #psartconsulting #fridayfun #overthinking

Art of the State 2025. What an incredible show! I just got back to the studio after taking it all in. A huge shout out to @irenedelka for her well-deserved “Best of Show” award and to @collinparson and his team @arvadacenter for their outstanding and thoughtful curation. I was so pleased to see the work of many artist friends (more than I can tag here) but also taken by all the innovative work by artists I am unfamiliar with. I feel so honored to have a piece hanging amongst it all. My soul needed this today.

Finally got to visit Imagery Estate Winery where Mark did a label for their 2019 Lagrein and see the gallery and of course, enjoy a tasting. Beautiful setting, nice people and the fun of seeing the work of friends all around. #imagerywinery #markpennerhowell #heather_patterson_art #maiwynfineart #imageryestatewinery

Questions of identity are at the heart of my practice. While cultural history and personal experience frame much of what we think of as identity, I am interested in exploring the more “fluid” or non-fixed aspects of being human. Moments of transition or passage, contradictory emotions, and states of duality are what I frequently explore in my work. I am also drawn to subjects that find humor in the absurdities of ordinary life. Depicting the human form in abstract or non-literal spaces frees me to explore its metaphorical and psychological potential, in order to make visible the complexities of the self.
