HOWARD PHIPPS R.W.A., S.W.E., A.R.E.

Howard Phipps is a painter, printmaker and illustrator with a special interest in wood engraving, a medium in which he is acknowledged as a leading exponent. In recent years his work has been acquired by several prominent institutions, such as the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, The British Museum & the Yale Centre for British Art in the USA.  Born in 1952, Howard has lived near Salisbury since 1980 and his art is rooted in the downs of Wiltshire and Dorset, with their deep coombes and Beech clumps.  He works from drawings and watercolours made on location, using light to reveal the underlying sculpture of the landscape.  Ancient track ways and striking hill forms draw his eye - timelesss on which earlier generations have left their mark.  His subsequent wood engravings are profoundly imbued with a sense of place.

Howard has had numerous solo exhibitions in London and the South of England.  His solo exhibition, Cutting iIt Fine, at Salisbury Museum in 2021-22 was featured on BBC Radio 4's Front Row Arts programme.  He has been a frequent exhibitor at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions.

A member of the Royal West of England Academy (RWA) and the Society of Wood Engravers, in 2024 he was was made an associate member of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers.
