 Howard
Kirk grew up surfing in
Huntington Beach, California.
Howard and his friends
traveled up and down the coast
in search of perfect waves to
ride.
"From
Santa Cruz to Baja, we would
camp out on the beach and
surf. My mom was an artist,
but I never really tried to
paint until the spring of
2001. A friend invited me to
an art store to buy some
supplies, and at the store I
decided I would try to paint.
Since surfing has been such a
big part of my life, it seemed
natural for me to paint waves.
So I did. I was encouraged by
my friends to paint more, and
so I began painting different
waves and have tried to
capture the beauty and power
of the ocean as it collides
majestically with the
shore.”
