Andrea Howson is an award-winning acrylic artist living and working in Belwood, Ontario. She attended Sheridan College, where she studied and completed a Fine Arts program with Honours. Initially concentrating on the human form, her focus gradually shifted toward wildlife subjects stemming from her appreciation, fascination, and love of animals.

She is known for blending painterly realism with a hint of whimsy in her contemporary animal portraits. Whether it’s the rustic charm of cows or the mystique of owls, her palette is as diverse as the personalities she captures. Her work invokes a deep reverence for connecting with the natural world and transcends the ordinary by elevating farm, avian, and woodland creatures. Her love for the animals she paints shines through in every piece of her art.

A proud supporter of the Society of Canadian Artists, she is an elected member and serves on the Executive Board of Directors. Howson’s paintings are in private and corporate collections across Canada, Europe, and Japan.
