Barbara Bowman BH Bowman Studios Medium(s):   acrylic   mixed media Contact Info:    Web: www.bhbowmanstudios.com Artist Statement My goal is to communicate Abstract Expressionism as the discovery of drama in the simple, and to express drama simply. As complexity and simplicity touch, my vision is to seduce the viewer through intense and subtle color, luminosity, merging lines, texture and a sense of limitless space. I hope to attract a provocative eye that thirsts for this.		Member Profile: Largely self-taught in canvas art, Barbara Bowman draws much of her inspiration from nature, unconventional wisdom and extensive travel. She grew up mostly in Colorado, but she is a self-proclaimed nomad. Why? Because she also claims roots in the east coast, west coast, south coast and mid-west. Bowman's independent nature instilled her with a zest for world culture and helped to root a serious appreciation of the vibrant, majestic colors of all landscapes, as she has explored many countries from a young age, and often solo. Early in her career, Bowman painted in the figurative style; realistic images detailed on glass, designs for internationally recognized corporate brands and cruise lines, as well as a wall muralist for both private and corporate clients throughout the U.S. Bowman draws inspiration from contemporary American artist, Mark Rothko. She became impassioned with Rothko and his fervent desire for drama to be seen in his works. She expresses herself similarly, reflecting her own outspokenness, sense of adventure, and passion for life, and often a depiction of her travels or experience. She pays vigorous attention to balanced, brilliant hues, depth, and expanding dimensions. Her colors are intricately woven and meticulously layered to create a visual journey.
