HOWARD WILBUR THOMAS (1899–1971)

Born in Mount Pleasant, Ohio in 1899, Howard Wilbur Thomas spent most of his childhood summers on the farms of Quaker communities in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Within that community, it was Thomas’s grandfather who showed the young artist the quiet integrity and the bond with Earth that would inspire him for the rest of his life. After graduating from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1922, he began teaching high school art classes in Wisconsin, where he became friends with Carl Holty.
