Harrison Howard was born in 1954 in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and grew up not far from there. Much of his professional career has been devoted to mural work in private houses, and has included screens, panels, easel paintings, and watercolors. Primarily, his work has focused on decorative themes including chinoiseries, architectural subjects, and scenics, often with bird, animal, or floral motifs.

Harrison started his career at the age of nineteen with a one-man exhibit at the upstairs gallery of Ross Thiele & Son Interiors in La Jolla, California, where much of his adult life has been spent. All but one of the twenty four available watercolors were sold. Since that time Harrison has worked primarily as a freelance artist. Today, the artist focuses on smaller paintings, and produces limited edition giclee prints as well.

Clients have included: Royal Saudi Embassy Residence, McLean, VA. Ms. Wendy Vanderbilt, New York, Ms. Kirstie Alley, Los Angeles, Mrs. Pierre S. DuPont, Delaware, Mrs. Roger Firestone, Philadelphia, Mr. & Mrs. Frank Goodyear, Philadelphia, and Mrs. Jack Dorrance, Philadelphia.

Interior Design Firms for which Harrison has worked include: McMillen Inc., New York, Irvine & Fleming, New York, Pamela Banker, briefly a senior partner of Parish-Hadley, New York

The artist’s work appeared in Architectural Digest, May 1991, in a feature article on leading California mural artists.
