The Steamboat Art Museum is pleased to announce the work of Colorado artist Quang Ho will be on exhibit starting December 2, 2010. The exhibit will be open through April 14, 2012.

Quang Ho was born in Vietnam in 1963. He, his siblings and mother immigrated to the United States in 1975. When they arrived in Colorado, they did not speak English. His artistic interest began at the early age of three. At the age of 16, Quang exhibited his first solo show. Quang attended the Colorado Institute of Art on a National Scholastics Art Awards Scholarship. Ho graduated from the CIA in 1985 with the Best Portfolio Award for his graduating class.

After graduating, Ho illustrated for such clients as Adolph Coors Company, Upjohn, Safeway, Colorado Symphony, Chicago Symphony. Ho's illustration works have been featured in the Illustrators Annual and exhibited at the Museum of American Illustrations; and the Communication Arts Illustrations Annual.

Working mostly in oils and occasionally watercolor and pastels, Ho's subject matter ranges from still-life, landscapes, interiors, and dancers, to figuratives. "Subject matter is not really important to me. I can find visual excitement all around me as well as on the canvas - from a knot on a tree, graceful limp of a flower wilting, to a juxtaposition of a few simple shapes and colors...inspirations are inexhaustible" Ho told the International Museum of Contemporary Masters of Fine Art.
