• Howard Kirk Howard Kirk grew up surfing in Huntington Beach, California. Howard and his friends traveled up and down the coast in search of perfect waves to ride. "From Santa Cruz to Baja, we would camp out on the beach and surf. My mom was an artist, but I never really tried to paint until the spring of 2001. A friend invited me to an art store to buy some supplies, and at the store I decided I would try to paint. Since surfing has been such a big part of my life, it seemed natural for me to paint waves. So I did. I was encouraged by my friends to paint more, and so I began painting different waves and have tried to capture the beauty and power of the ocean as it collides majestically with the shore.”
