Helen F. Howerton
Helen F. Howerton, a native Tulsan, knew from the age of 8 that art was her life’s career. Drawing birds and animals was a passion that grew into painting. Taking inspiration from her study of animal anatomy and sketches of nature, Helen shares her individual interpretation of the spirit in each animal.
Howerton was born in 1944 and was raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She married her husband, Ron, in 1966. She was employed as a commercial artist for Oklahoma State University upon college graduation. Howerton created illustrations for Waterfowl Magazine, the Oklahoma Wildlife Magazine and designed hunting video covers. Commissions of canine portraits were ongoing during this time. As her children, two sons, and her career grew, she exhibited paintings in juried competitions and exhibitions including the Salmagundi Club (NYC) and the Safari Club. Howerton and Ron continue to reside in Tulsa with Brodie, a fox-red Labrador.
