About Howard Skaist Art
About
Meet the Artist
I am an independent artist based in Portland, Oregon, exploring the possibilities of artwork creation. My creative process produces artwork that feels both contemporary and timeless. My process is rooted in experimentation with form, color, and layered textures. I rely on my own sense of beauty and balance to create each piece as I try different styles, images and color arrangements. Each piece is meant to evoke a dialogue between the viewer’s imagination and the piece of art. I am just starting this, so feel free to provide comments you feel will be helpful to me.
My goal is to make art accessible—while preserving the uniqueness of each piece.
Artistry
My Creative Philosophy
Each artwork I create blends contemporary techniques with timeless design, using high-quality ink and paper to build layers of color, form, and texture. My process is rooted in experimentation—I continuously explore new styles, images, and arrangements to keep every piece truly unique.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: art should be accessible. I create pieces that bring inspiration, beauty, and meaning into everyday spaces—whether a home, office, or personal retreat. While each artwork is original and authentic, I strive to make my creations approachable and welcoming to all collectors, sharing the joy of discovery through original art.
Exclusivity
Why My Work Stands Out
Each artwork is hand-signed and numbered by the artist.
Every design is an exclusive original in limited editions.
Every artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Each artwork is professionally matted and ready to frame.
