Howard Milton first studied painting in London at the Hammersmith College of Art under the influential portrait painter, Ruskin Spear. But it was Graphic Design at the London College of Printing and the tutelage of Tom Eckersley, creator of many of the UKs most memorable posters, which shaped his career.
Milton came to international prominence during the 1980s UK design boom, and was recognised for services and a lifetimes achievement to UK design in the Design Council’s Prince Philip award 2009.
But Milton never stopped painting and when he moved to Cornwall in 2003, the hours in front of the canvas increased, whilst he also taught at Falmouth University of Arts.
Over the past few years he has become a prolific painter of human portraits and his favourite subjects, the horse and hound.
He is a continuing exhibitor to the Osborne Studio Gallery in London and the New Gallery, Truro, Cornwall.
