Fred’s interest in photography started while attending Lexington High School in Massachusetts.  His first solo exhibit took place at the Carey Memorial Library.  Following high school, he studied fine art at the Montserrat School of Visual Arts and later photography as a fine art at Rochester Institute of Technology.  At R.I.T. he learned the importance of knowing the science behind the art. The professor that made the most lasting impression on Fred was the well-known, photographer Owen Butler.

His goal is for each photograph to be an opening line in a novel.  From there the viewer will begin to create the rest of the story. The story could be one of beauty or sometimes it’s a sad tale. All of my printed photography is of archival quality and should last a lifetime if properly handled.

For twenty plus years I lived in Douglas County, Nevada. It is here in northern Nevada that most of his images are taken were for sale at the Nevada Artists Association Galley in Carson City. In November of 2021 Fred moved back to New England and settled in Keene, New Hampshire.  As member of the New Hampshire Artists Association Mr. Howland’s work is often on display at the NHAA gallery located at 136 State Street in downtown Portsmouth.
