As a nationally
recognized rustic furniture artist, Jim Howard shows his
works in many galleries throughout the country including New York, Sun
Valley & Park City, Utah, Jackson Hole & Cody, Wyoming, Vail,
Colorado, and Seattle, Washington.
His rustic art has been featured in various books on rustic
furniture including Chase Reynolds Ewald's Cowboy Chic,
Ralph Kylloe's book Rustic, & Contemporary
Western Design, by Thea Marx. The magazines Adirondack
Life, Log & Timber Style, Log Home Design Ideas, and
Cowboys & Indians have recently featured photos of his
work. Jim started
creating rustic pieces in the late 70’s when there were, “just a
few of us making rustic furniture in the Adirondacks of New York
State” where he lived. He
is currently building and creating in Seattle.
His work always adds a very unique and rustic feel to any room
of your home. He builds
each piece by hand and every one is signed and numbered. Jim
gladly accepts custom orders, although due to his busy flying schedule
and current orders in the works, you may have a few months wait for
your piece(s). Jim's history of working with sticks, twigs,
bark, metal & leather in his art of making rustic furniture is a
passion that lives in him every day. "There isn't a day
that goes by that I don't think about creating something unique.
It doesn't matter if I'm flying, skiing, or just driving down the
road, I'm always thinking Rustic. It's just a way of life
I have lived for so long and it will never leave me till the day I
die."
