Find out more about Keith Howard and this exhibit at

In this body of work, Keith Howard juxtaposes contemporary artistic ideas with the ageless archetype of the biblical Eve.  His large paintings are both powerful and provocative as they challenge us to reflect on our relationship with our human nature and our relationship with the environment.

Keith, who serves as Head of Contemporary Printmaking at Rochester Institute of Technology, has exhibited his prints around the world.  His new body of work, the "Eve" paintings will be exhibited for the first time in Rochester, NY at AXOM Gallery

This exhibit runs from August 31- September 29
