Perri Lynch Howard

Perri Lynch Howard is a socially engaged artist working in painting, drawing, installation, and sound. Her work evokes a world in flux due to the profound impacts of climate change. Her creative practice is rooted in “place-based listening,” a deep attentiveness to the passage of sound, light, and signal through vulnerable landscapes—a phenomenology of place. The resulting visual artworks and sound installations are testaments to nature’s resilience. They are chronicles of both extinction’s grief and the tenacious spirit of adaptation.

From her studio in the tiny hamlet of Twisp, WA, Howard’s art has a global reach through sound installations and visual art exhibitions in Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Canada, and as a Fulbright Scholar in South India. She has received support from numerous granting agencies and residencies including the Montello Foundation, PLAYA, McMillen Foundation, Puffin Foundation, 4Culture, Artist Trust, MadArt, Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, Willapa Bay AiR, Atlantic Center for the Arts, and the Arctic Circle Residency Program. Her work is represented by Smith & Vallee Gallery and the Seattle Art Museum Gallery.
