Story
As a professional city planner in Charlotte, his architectural renderings can be found in neighborhood plans to illustrate the appropriate way to design new buildings in older and historic neighborhoods.
ABOUT JOHN HOWARD
He was born and raised in Alton, Illinois – a historic Mississippi River town near St. Louis, Missouri.
Growing up he enjoyed sketching which led him to UNC Charlotte to pursue his degree in Architecture, where he also groomed his skills in drawing and painting.
As a professional city planner in Charlotte his architectural renderings can be found in neighborhood plans to illustrate the appropriate way to design new buildings in older and historic neighborhoods.
To continue his passion for history and architecture he created Neighborhood Architecture to share his artwork of historic buildings in Charlotte neighborhoods – some still here, and some lost.
Through his professional and personal experiences working in the Charlotte community John is connecting the past with the present through art and education.
A note of gratitude
A friend who became one of my mentors in the arts was Derrick Brown, a tremendously talented artist who specialized in musical art. We were colleagues at the City of Charlotte and soon became friends after we shared our appreciation for the arts. Rest in Power D. (3.7.11)
