Cynthia Howar

Cynthia Howar studied art and architecture in college but went on to become a lawyer and a consultant. In 2004, she decided to get back to her artistic roots and immersed herself in watercolors by studying at the Art League of Alexandria, at the Corcoran and with several visiting artists teaching workshops here and abroad. While studying art and graphic arts in the 1970's, all of her professors encouraged abstract painting. Today she has gone back to the basics and loves painting plein air. Although she paints both representationally and abstractly in oil and other media, watercolor remains her favorite medium. Cynthia regularly shows her work at her own studio and gallery. Among other places her work has been showed are: Citizens Association of Georgetown (CAG) Art Show (2011-2015), House of Sweden, 2013-2015 Juried three years in a row into the Brandywine Valley Plein Air Competition (October, 2010-13) Brandywine Valley Plein Air group show (October, 2013), Wintertur Musuem, Prize for Barn at Point Lookout Brandywine Valley Plein Air group show (October 2011), Tatnall School, Wilmington, Delaware Provence with Friends group exhibit (November 2012), Yellow Barn, Glen Echo, Maryland Paintings From Provence and Other Works of Art showcased in 2012 at her studio Art League Gallery, juried show (2006), Equal Award for Blue Window (oil on canvas) City Hall in Old Town Alexandria, 2006, Art in City Hall juried show Art League Gallery.
