Who: Mark Lee Howard
Mark Lee Howard, known as “the man behind the pen”, was born on Dec 23, 1951 in Oakland, CA. As the son of a navy officer whose family moved frequently, Howard had the opportunity to observe wildlife in many varied habitats and to develop a life-long love of nature. He first began creating art in 1963 at the age of 13. While living in Olathe, KS, he experimented with pencil, pen and ink. His artistic abilities flourished and in 1969 he won 1st place in the National Scholastic Awards (Graphic Art Edition). This accomplishment fueled Howard’s drive to become an artist.
