Amy Howell Marks is a mixed-media abstract artist currently based in Gulfport, Florida. She is relocating to Weaverville, North Carolina, in December 2026, and welcomes inquiries from collectors, interior designers, hospitality teams, and businesses throughout Western North Carolina about original paintings, commissions, and art for commercial spaces.

​

Working intuitively with acrylic paint, palette knives, texture, and found materials, Howell creates layered paintings that explore color, movement, atmosphere, and emotional resonance. Her compositions balance energy and stillness, suggesting shifting horizons, reflections, and inner landscapes rather than fixed places.Current events and social change inform her work, surfacing through color, gesture, and mood rather than literal imagery.

​

Howell earned a BA in Graphic Design from the University of Illinois. Her creative path has taken her from the Pacific Northwest to Provincetown, Massachusetts, where she exhibited frequently with the Provincetown Art Association, and later to Florida. Her work has been included in regional exhibitions and art festivals, including Art Festival Beth-El, the Gulfport Fine Arts Festival, and the PAVA Cool Art Show. In 2026, she received the Best in Painting award at the Boutique at Beth-El.

For Howell, painting is a grounding and transformative process—a way to explore freedom, presence, and connection. Through abstraction, she hopes to offer viewers a sense of openness, movement, and possibility.
