Mary Bowen is an artist working across painting and print, rooted in observing and responding to the natural environment.

WORKING WITHIN A LANGUAGE OF LYRICAL ABSTRACTION, BOWEN DRAWS ON HER KNOWLEDGE OF COLOUR THEORY AND YEARS OF PRINTMAKING EXPERIENCE TO BUILD LAYERED SURFACES RICH IN COLOUR, TEXTURE AND INTUITIVE MARK-MAKING.

INSPIRED BY THE WILD HEATHER, GORSE, SHIFTING SKIES AND RUGGED TERRAIN OF Dartmoor, BOWEN’S WORK BECOMES A MEDITATION ON COLOUR, MEMORY AND OUR EMOTIONAL CONNECTION TO LANDSCAPE.

HER PAINTINGS DO NOT ILLUSTRATE DARTMOOR — THEY BEHAVE LIKE DARTMOOR, SHIFTING, LAYERED AND EXPOSED.

Studio: Dartmoor, Uk
