Howard Behrens

Behrens has had over 150 One Man Shows from coast to coast since the beginning of his career as a professional artist in 1980.
Behrens paints with a palette knife.
His skill with this instrument has earned him recognition as the undisputed leader of American palette knife artists. Behrens’ works have graced the cover of most art publications, and he has been the subject of numerous feature stories in magazines and newspapers.

After a trip to Giverny, France Behrens completed an entire series as a “Tribute to Monet” that was exhibited at the Embassy of France in Washington, DC in 2001. As one of the official artists for the Winter Olympics 2002, his painting, “In Motion” was featured at the Winter Games. Numerous celebrities collect Behrens’ works and they are now in the permanent collections of more than ten museums. The latest Behrens’ collectors are former President Bush, Mrs. Barbara Bush and Mr. Donald Trump.

Behrens’ motivation comes from his strong passion to capture the “essence” of the places he visits around the world.
The Masters Monet and Van Gogh greatly influenced his work. Behrens’ original works are in fine art galleries across the country.
Limited edition serigraphs, giclees, and open-edition posters are distributed worldwide. Collectors enjoy Behrens art on tile murals.
