Rendezvous at Night: Harrison Howard comes to Sallie home April 28th

Sallie home will welcome well-known American artist, Harrison Howard, to the store Thursday April 28th, 2011. For one-night only, Howard will display a hand-picked selection of his artwork at Sallie home beginning at 5pm. This event is free and open to the public! All artwork will be available for purchase.

Most known in St. Louis for his original artwork on the cover of St. Louis Seasons Magazine, Howard has spent most of his professional career devoted to mural work in private houses – including screens, panels, easel paintings, and watercolors. His work has caught the eye of founding families of large American corporations like the Dupont’s, the Vanderbilt’s, and the Firestone’s, as well as popular celebrities like Kristie Alley.

Since starting his career at the age of nineteen, Howard’s art has focused on decorative themes, including architectural subjects, chinoiseries, and scenes often with birds, animals or floral motifs. He has worked extensively with alkyd paints, oils, and to a lesser extent, acrylics. On the night of April 28th, Howard will display a select collection of his giclee prints.

Hors d'oeuvres will be provided by Clayton's own Mosaic Bistro and Bocci Bar!

Come and discover the fascinating work of Harrison Howard at Sallie home, 9821 Clayton Road, St. Louis, Missouri on April 28th from 5-8 pm.
