Greg Howlind has been working as an artist for more than four decades. A California native, he moved to Joshua Tree in 1989. His works are influenced by his travels in Mexico, the islands, and as Captain of the Sea Hawk. Working with scrap rebar, he sculpts marine and desert life forms.

Artist and sculptor, his watercolor nudes sparked a controversy at his reception sponsored by Hi-Desert Nature Museum Association in 2001. Howlind has also created unique furniture and lamps utilizing rebar.

He has donated his Wishing Whale to Copper Mountain College, Scorpion to 29 Palms Art Guild, and Ballerina to the Hi-Desert Playhouse.

Sculptures

Greg’s Scorpion was donated in 2001 to The 29 Palms Art Guild.

The pink Flamingo with an egg now stands proud in my yard amid flowers. This sculpture is concrete reinforced with rebar.

His Diver Down stands over 5' tall and is so fluid the fish seem to be swimming, with sparkling marble eyes. The Urchin picture was taken in his yard, and in the background is his sailing ship, called Downwind.

The next sculpture was commissioned and is Greg's rendition of The Chariot, by Alberto Giacometti, dated 1950, in bronze.
