He will be showing existing work as well as kinetic sculpture specially created for this exhibition.” Howe studied international relations at Stanford University and attended graduate school at the University of Sao Paolo, Brazil before dedicating himself exclusively to his artwork. His work has been exhibited in more than 16 countries and has been included in collections in 32 countries. In addition to creating pieces for the City of Los Angeles and MIT, Howe created a 80-foot mobile for the Georgia International Convention Center and a 18-foot stainless steel sculpture for a corporate client in Bilberach, Germany. Howe recently completed a commission for LARC Ranch in Saugus. A reception for the exhibit will be held on Sept. 25 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the College of the Canyons Art Gallery.
