Claude Howell has often been characterized as the "Dean of North Carolina Painters." The artist had a widespread influence on the arts in North Carolina through his painting, murals, and as an educator. Howell taught art at Wilmington College (now UNC-W) and his classes at UNC-W led to the formation of an Art Department, for which he became the director. Howell was a prolific painter and, when not painting on the coast of North Carolina, he spent many summers traveling and painting in Europe. Claude Howell was born in Wilmington, North Carolina and began, as early as high school, pursuing a career in art that would last a lifetime. The young artist spent his summer breaks in Rockport, Maine and Woodstock, New York, studying painting with Jon Corbino, Bernard Karfiol and Charles Rosen, all of whom greatly influenced his painting. Despite extensive world traveling, Howell always call Wilmington home This North Carolina coastal fishing community provided him with the primary subjects for paintings throughout his career: the sea, fishermen and trawlers.
