VMG: Velocity Made Good
Perri Lynch Howard is a multi-disciplinary artist working in painting, drawing, installation, and sound. Her work investigates the passage of light, sound, and signal through the world’s most vulnerable ecosystems - a phenomenology of place.
Howard’s art has a global reach through exhibitions and sound installations completed in the United States, Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Canada, the Arctic Circle, and in South India as a Fulbright Senior Research Scholar. She is a volunteer field recording ambassador with Quiet Parks International, and an avid adventurer.
Howard received her BA from The Evergreen State College, BFA from the University of Washington, and MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Honors include a Puffin Foundation Grant, Artist Trust Fellowship, McMillen Fellowship, Seattle City Artist Grant, a Foundation for Contemporary Art grant, and multiple 4Culture Special Project Grants. She has received support from numerous residencies including the Montello Foundation, Atlantic Center for the Arts, Centrum Foundation, PLAYA, Willapa Bay AIR, the Santa Fe Art Institute, and the Arctic Circle Residency Program. Her paintings and drawings are represented by Smith & Vallee Gallery in Edison, WA and the Seattle Art Museum Gallery.
