Damond Howard,

A graduate of South Carolina State University (B.S. Art Education) and University of Florida (M.F.A. Studio Art), Damond Howard is an artist, who combines art and history in distinctive ways. His interest and experience in African-American culture is latent in his figurative drawings.

Among the many impressive venues, Howard’s works have been recognized and exhibited in The College of Wooster Art Museum (Ohio), MOJA Arts Festival (Charleston, South Carolina), Museum of Science and Industry (Chicago, Illinois), and a solo Exhibition at Kresge Art Gallery of Lyon College (Batesville, Arkansas).
